Oct 9, 2009 One of the darkest pours ever. Just like a dark roast coffee. Lots of light brown head. Beautiful sweet oatmeal notes with a little coffee backing it on the nose. No real bitterness on the taste. Good oatmeal balance to a great stout favor.

Oct 4, 2009 Bottle. A dark, almost black stout with a tall, thick, creamy tan head. There is dark roast coffee in the aroma, some burnt nuts, light molasses, cocoa powder. My memory of draught and nitro-keg versions includes a thicker mouthfeel than this. The bottle seems more carbonated and crisp with medium body. The flavour emphasizes coffee flavours, especially espresso with some more light cocoa and faint hops behind both. The finish has more of the hop presence and lingers nicely.

Sep 28, 2009 Dark brown to black pour with a moderately large tan head with good retention. Coffee nose. Mocha flavor with rich chocolate malts apparent. Coffee-like finish.

Sep 23, 2009 I fell in love with this beer! A beautifl example of an Oatmeal Stout. Rich and creamy with coffee and cream characters. The sweetness is just right. Would drink anytime.

Sep 22, 2009 BOTTLE: nice black pour, looks thick in the glass. Brown head. Roasty aroma, maybe some dark fruit on the nose. Semi-creamy mouthfeel, some carbonation present. Taste is coffee and chocolate - excellent.

Sep 14, 2009 Pours a clean, dense, black with a large light brown, frothy head that leaves good lacing on the glass. Aroma is average with some molasses, chocolate , raisin, plum, prune and roasted malt notes. Flavor has a slight soured malt note, chocolate sweetness, lots of dark fruit - raisin, plum, dates and a light dryness to the finish. Modest body with a sticky and modest carbonation to it. Overall a good brew but the combination of an acidic flavor with raisin/plum fruitiness always seems to produce a slightly sour, off putting flavor in my opinion.

Sep 14, 2009 Great beer, with hints of coffee and chocolate not to full bodied but still carries a great flavour and good mouth feel. Wicked beer.
