Draft at the brewpub - Poured a very dark black/brown in color with a very thick, creamy tan head. Excellent lacing on the glass. Aroma is slightly sweet with caramel malts with some coffee/chocolate and a hefty amount of darkly roasted malts. Flavor is strong of the roasted malt, medium of chocolate and coffee and slightly sweet toward the finish. Palate was nice and chewy. Excellent brew. Very enjoyable end to an otherwise lackluster tasting session.

Oct 17, 2007 Tap at the brewpub. Pitch black beer with a creamy tan head. Low aroma with only some chocolate and weak coffee coming through. Body is very thin for an oatmeal stout. Nitro wipes out much of the character that normally comes with this style. Comes across more like a dry stout than an oatmeal stout. Doesn’t really do it for me.

Oct 10, 2006 On tap at the brewpub. Was definitely not too thrilled with this selection, as it appeared to be more on the dry side like a Guinness. There was a good look and smell too it, but that was about it.
