Opaque black in colour with an initially large beige head which rapidly dissipated to a very thin head. Coffee detected in the aroma. Thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. Moderate bitterness. Nice long and fairly sweet finish. - 500ml bottle.

Aug 9, 2008 Nice pour. Very dark brown with a substantial mocha head and nice lacing. This sets up the aroma, which is a decent blend of roasted malt, chocolate and a hint of coffee. The high expectations are dampened by the taste - a muddy mix overtaken by alcohol. Mouthfeel is oily and the finish is brass and more alcohol. A disappointment.

Jul 14, 2008 500mL Bottle: Pours dark brown, almost black w/ a medium sized brown head that splits rather quickly, leaving minimal lacing behind. Sweet roasted malt aroma, a little light chocolate in there too. Flavor holds some nice roasted malts similar to the aroma. Nice smooth beer, but not great. Eh...

Jul 12, 2008 Black/brown pour. Flavor is fairly standard for an oatmeal stout, but something is missing. Not quite right in the mouth or finish. OK, I’m guessing the draught is much better, as is the case with their double chocolate stout, which I absolutely love.
