100th rating for this beer!
Courtesy Degarth. Black pour with some soft brown edges, small tan head that sticks around for a short time. Decent lacing. Nose of coffee, oatmeal, dark malts and fruits, creamer and some alcohol warmth. Flavor is intense with the sweet oatmeal and coffee notes, with some bittersweet chocolate mixed in. Finish is medium length and very roasty. Other than the slight heat on the nose, the alcohol is very well hidden. Medium carbonation, full and chewy mouthfeel. Good stuff.

Sep 7, 2008 bottle - Pours thick and nearly black with a thin tan head. The aroma is full of oatmeal, dark roasted malt and chocolate. The big chocolate malt flavor has enough hops to give it balance. It’s full bodied and very enjoyable.

Sep 3, 2008 Malt aroma with lots of alcohol. Opaque brown color with some brown foam. Very sweet beginning that fades lightly in the finish. Alcohol and oat in the end. Palate is creamy and alcohol does not have and overpowering burn.

Sep 3, 2008 jet black pour with a tiny coffee head that didnt last very long. Aroma is a slap in the face, loads of rosty malt, and the typical full bodied oatmeal aroma. Loads of chocolate, some smoke, mollasses, and soy sauce. Flavour is very full bodied, lots of roastiness, some chocolate, and a big boozy note. the alcohol isvery present, and add lots of warming. A very very nice winter beer, so rich.............its like a bloody meal.

Aug 24, 2008 Bottle: Damn near black with a creamy brown head. Massive aroma of coffee and sweet cocoa. Very true to the oatmeal stout class. Taste is smoky and roasty malt with some light bits of burnt malt. Coffee and some light bitters. More of that oatmeal feel. Rich and potent. Might be picking up a little bit of tobacco? Wow, this was solid. Thanks beerbill!

Aug 23, 2008 22 oz. Bomber: Jet black with a brown head. Strong alcohol in the aroma as well as chocolate and coffee. With the consistency of a warm milkshake, this brew makes you scream HELLO! Rich, thick flavors of chocolate, alcohol, cough syrup. I definitely see the molasses in the flavor. WOW. This brewskie is phenomenal. Thanks Jake65 for sharing this gem.
