Bronze/brown in color with a small white head.Nutty and chocolate flavors, more of a brown ale than a stout,this company really baffles me how they are still in business.

Volgon (2761) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - JAN 30, 2004
Clear brown color with a big bubbled head. Sweet smelling beer with a ringwood taste. Very light and watery. I'm surprised that other people have rated this so highly.

CaptainCougar (7093) - Columbia, Maryland, USA - AUG 18, 2003
Pours a thin dark black with a thick lightly lacing tan head. Rich milk chocolate oatmeal aroma with coffee undertones. Body starts thin and dull with a light mix of sweet and sour but has a pleasant long lasting chocolatey grainy finish. A novel idea for a beer, but it could've been done better.

OldGrowth (2107) - North Carolina, USA - JUN 13, 2003
Bottle: Dark roast coffee and cocoa nose. Nice reddish dark brown color. Starts with a chocolate malt flavor, but lacks body overall. Thin dryish finish. Third try from these guys and I have to say don't bother.

SimonPatrice (312) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 10, 2003
Very dark brown. Plain chocolate and alcohol aroma. Raosted malt and chocolate that don't last and then nothing but water.

CapFlu (4010) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - JUN 9, 2003
(Bottle) Opaque. Slightly smoked but mainly cocoa nose. Flavour was cocoa and strangely acidic? Very bitter and ultimately dry.

fraternie (777) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 26, 2003
Dark body, little head. Dark, roasted chocolate aroma. Oatey, lightly chocolatey aroma but too watery and thin overall. Slightly dry finish with a light touch of hops, smooth.

UnionMade (621) - Connecticut, USA - MAY 26, 2003
Pours a dark reddish brown, with very little head, even in the pour. Nearly black. Aroma is wonderful. Toasty chocolate, roasted malts and a bit of black coffee. Flavor is rich and very smooth. Bittersweet chocolate and black coffee. Body is medium, with mild carbonation and a great smooth mouthfeel. A decent oatmeal stout flavor, with a rich chocolatey flavor. Finish is moderately dry. I'm happy with it, and I'll get it again.

proc (342) - Dearborn, Michigan, USA - DEC 20, 2002
Pours out to a jet black in the glass with no head. Very little carbonation to near flat. Aroma is that of light chocolate and coffee. Taste is good, but thin. I usually expect loads of flavor with an oatmeal stout and this one being oatmeal/chocolate is a little light.

Hopistotle420 (1178) - Amherst, Massachusetts, USA - OCT 14, 2002
Thin beige head. Dark mahogany hue. Roasted malt aroma. Thin bodied, very thin. Nice flavors, but no depth whatsoever.
