Jan 3, 2010 Bottle: Black as night, huge pillowy dark brown head, spotty lacing. This is one dark beer. Heavy roastiness on the nose, slight lactose sweetness, a tad bit of dark pitted fruit. Seems like a tamed down
Imperial Stout. Seems a little chalky, some ash and or campfire as well. Also seems somewhat alcoholic, perhaps even a little medicinal. I think there is gonna be some fire there. Roasty, milk sugar sweetness,
and boozy. Certainly chalky, a little dry, with some bitter chocolate notes finishing it out. Fairly fiery, has some kick. Not as heavy nor sickly sweet as their standard RIS, which is nice for a change. Not so
sure about the heavy Oatmeal Stout, but its not bad. Age would only soften the burn, but maltwise I don’t know how much its character would change for the better. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Good as is, and certainly
easy to drink. Entertaining.

Jan 3, 2010 Thanks to Kaiser81 for trading this one to me.
Pours black with a brown head. Aroma is sweet roasted malt with a strong bitter chocolate component. The flavor is lots of coffee. Chocolate is present as well with it beginning as a darker almost milk chocolate and ending with a bitter finish. Very creamy thick mouthfeel and medium carbonation. I love stouts that include oatmeal and this is one of the best ones I have had.

Dec 15, 2009 ~ Purchased this 22 oz bomber from New Beer Distributors in Manhattan, NY. This stout pours black with a dark tan head that vanishes into oblivion. It smells of bitter chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, and a touch of alcohol. The taste is amazing! It’s smooth, silky, and highly drinkable. At 9.2% ABV, this went down effortlessly.
A must try. Highly recommended! ~
