Notes from 1/10/2009. On cask at New Beer today. Having my way with a jug of it at the moment. Filled completely to the top, I go easy into my rounded pint glass. Black & brown & very still. Head was small to begin with at the store, got about a third of quickly dispersing dark tan head. Sniffing along... sweet roast, woody-ness, baking flour, a bit of a citric tone right at the end. First off, just a trace of carbonation left after getting filled barely four hours ago. Though it adds to the already smooth creaminess that the oatmeal provides. Taste is milder in coffee/roast flavors then it was fresh out the cask. A delicate bready/sugar cookie sweetness relaxes things, waiting on the slightly lingering citrus/coffee-ish/tinny bitterness that comes into the finish. Simple & delicious. Drinkability is just plain easy. Easier then Brownstone on cask. This IS cask though. I am only allowed so much of that. How about running this stuff through a randal stuffed with toasted marshmallows? :)

On tap @ Mudville 9. A nice creamy nitro foam on top of a eventually dark almost black beer. Smells lovely chocolaty with both chocolate and chocolate paper. A little bit of cardboard also, but it smells quite nice this. Oh my, that's tasty! The nitro is just fantastic in this beer! It's so creamy in the mouth that I cannot remember the last time I had a creamy beer like this. It's loaded with Milky chocolate and fresh grassy hops. This is a really fresh one. Traces of latte, cream and lactose. Some gunpowder and licorice in the aftertaste. . A really really good one. The glass went away in no time at all. 16.06.2013

16.06.2013, tap @ Alewife Queens:
Nice creamy longlasting head. Aroma is roasted dark malts, coffee, chocolate, grass, licorice, rubber, cereal. Taste is dry, dark malts, coffee, bitter chocolate, hay, licorice, rubber, burnt caramel. Medium bitterness, dry mouthfeel. Nice, but I’d rather say this was a dry stout.

Also tasted this one again and then it was pretty awfule:
