Bottle. Rich aroma: malt, oats, nuts, chocolate, roasted barley. Sweet and slightly acidic. Rich, smooth malt and oat taste. Sweet and creamy, with the burnt flavor kicking in a bit later and lasting a long time. Long finish of burnt wood and roasted nuts. Thick palate, creamy and smooth. Very nice all around with great balance and pretty good complexity. Slightly too sweet and acidic for me.

Bottle sample at a tasting. Very dark brown to black color with a small beige head. Roasty aroma with some chocolate and a bit of coffee. Sweet and roasty flavor with a rather dry finish. Medium-bodied and very smooth. A good stout!

Courtesy of Quake1028. Pours fairly dark but not opaque with dark brown head. The aroma is light with a mixture of roasty malts, burnt malts, faint wood and hints of fruity esters. The taste starts roasty and chocolaty. It becomes both sweet and burnt malts by midway. Into the finish a faint spice hoppiness shows up for a moment before more chocolate malts join back in along with a mild oatmeal twang and malt roastiness.

Bottle. Light cocoa aroma. Dark black-brown color with small film of a head. Lightly sweet black coffee flavor initially with a chocolate/oatmeal finish. Moderate carbonation. A nice tasting beer - would be better with a more pronounce aroma and flavor as it came across kind of weak for me.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin rim of brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of whiskey and alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, alcohol, and oatmeal as well as light notes of whiskey.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a large brown head. The aroma is sweet, sour and has a strong chocolate syrup element. The flavor is roasty, toasty and moderately sweet with hints of chocolate and coffee and a moderate floral hop presence. The finish is bitter and roasty. A touch thin in body but smooth. Well done.

My first taste of an oatmeal stout. The price was right, 96 cents a 12 oz bottle at Beaver Valley Beverage in Monaca PA so I gave it a try. I was surprized that I needed a real bottle opener to get the top off! It has a lovely inviting chocolate smell in my three stooges glass, something like a quality fudge-sicle. An initial taste revealed a creamy chocolate surprize...much more chocolate than mackesonxxx. Does not have quite the burnt charcoal flavor as Mackeson xxx and is just a little thinner. Very impressive. Has that real stout flavor. I could drink many of these at a time. Just a little bit of bitterness in the aftertaste.

Deep opaque brown body, medium-thin tan head. Roasty, chalky, light aroma. Flavor is very similar to the WG Porter, with dry chocolate, roasted malt, and a touch of coffee in the finish. Chalky with light sweetness. A pretty good stout but it is too similar to their porter.

Brownish orange and dark. Good head that lasts. Spicy and roasty initially. The body progresses through a range of hoppy flavors with that bitter burnt malt lingering. Finishes a little bit too sour/bitter for my liking though and body is a bit on the watery side. Not as sweet as I would expect though that isnt necessarily a bad thing. A very unusual beer.

Looks as black as tar with a dark brown head which fades fast. Smells very strong and sweet with hints of caramel and sugar. Thin bodied compared to the colour, but a nice burnt caramel taste to a mellow body. Not a bad beer, but from the colour, I was expecting more.
