Brimming with darkly roasted malts, this mocha-topped stout features hints of coffee and chocolate. The addition of Vermont grown organic oats adds to the unfiltered, full bodied experience.

Bottle sampled at 55F Pours very dark, held to direct setting sun, dark reddins brown shines through. Modest fizzy head that leaves in a bit of a hurry. Moderate lacing is present. Smells smokey and dark. Taste is smokey, like campfire charcoal. Not much sweetness but still very tastey. As it warms up a bit, carbonation that was not much is decreasing of course and the woody smokey flavor is coming out more now. Must be the Oatmeal in these that really mellow out a stout. Finish is very smooth and clean. Nary a trace of hopps or lingering bitters. A good one that is under rated IMO.

This brew is a very dark brown color, not quite opaque with a slight reddish tint. Medium thin and quickly dissipating light tan head, and very thin lacing. The aroma consists of roasted coffee and soy. Dry and a little too thin-bodied for my tastes, with flavors of coffee, caramel and a bit of chocolate. Some sweetness comes through in the finish, along with a touch of hops. This Stout falls short in about every area, but despite that it is still drinkable.

Copper-brown colour (too light). Metallic, roasty aroma. Thin body. Roast is noted but muted. Like doughnut shop coffee.

12-November-2003: Batch #1452:
95% opaque black body with a medium-sized light brown head. Aroma of oats (no surprise huh?), bread, coffee and a bit of chocolate. Medium-bodied; Sweet and bitter initial taste, all in one. Not much else is picked up in the taste, some smokey tones and some astringency. Aftertaste shows strong signs of bitterness and a slight cherry flavour. Dry & alcoholic finish...but not too bad. Overall, about what I had expected from this beer-as I knew it was coming out soon! I bought this twelve ounce bottle from Beers of the World in Rochester, New York and sampled it on 04-December-2003.
