Brewed with well water (the original well at the Old Brewery, sunk in 1758, is still in use, with the hard well water being drawn from 85 feet underground); fermented in ‘stone Yorkshire squares’ to create an almost opaque, wonderfully silky and smooth textured ale with a complex medium dry palate and bittersweet finish.

550 ml bottle. Pours a nearly opaque dark brown color with a big foamy beige head that has good retention. The aroma is faint with cocoa, some burnt toast and ashes. The taste is dark fruits, cocoa, licorice and walnuts. The palate is medium in viscosity and the carbonation is soft. Finishes short and dry with some lingering licorice. Overall: Decent--much enjoyed. Paired well with some pretzels.

From Jun 2007

Purchased at Liquor Shed in Casper for US$3.70

This ours from 550ML bottle a very dark brown with a large offwhite head of foam that just won't quit. And...there's plenty of lacing so it's really a very nice brew when looking into my glass.

The smell hits my nose with a lot of sweet and roasted malt and is very nice.

The taste follows the nose to a T. A big abundance of roasted malt with some sweet tones followed by a nice oatmeal flavour and lesser notes of anise and citrus tang. Wow, the mix of flavours really work well together and *force* me to take sip after sip. Very drinkable and it makes for an *excellent* session brew. I could drink this one all night long. The carbonation is medium light and the mouthfeel is silky smooth. I can't believe that I haven't reviewed this before as it's simply an outstanding example of the style and is easy on the wallet. Highly recommended!!

473mL can. Pours black with beige head. Damp roasted malts and a touch of liquorice on the nose. Flavour has roasted malts, coffee, and some black liquorice; a bit watered down. Finish is nice and dry. Moderate body. Initial impression was fairly mild, but more complexity coming up as it warms. Nice oatmeal stout.

Bottle from House of Trembling Madness, online. Pours a very dark brown, with small beige head Aroma is sweet, roasty, chocolate, light fruity berry note, some ash. There is a luscious creamy mouthfeel to this stout despite being light to medium in body and a fine carbonation which is superb. Taste wise its semi-sweet, roast, chocolate, liquorice, light fruitiness. Excellent.

Notes from October 2009 4.61/5 rDev +9.5% look: 4.5 - smell: 3.5 - taste: 5 - feel: 5 - overall: 5 12oz edition, random pint glass. Tan, creamy, & slow to recede. Greasy dark brown color pierced with shades of amber. I smell Milk Duds, coffee creamer, still water, a touch of smoke, ...& something a little ripe. /Impatiently waiting on my meager typing skills to catch up to my mouth: Toasty sweet oats, vanilla, & almond paste. Rum & coke. Bit of a twang to it, but it gets lost in the bittersweet char finish. I would of guessed 6%. The alcohol is warming, rather then irritating. Frothy, not quite thick, slightly tacky mouthfeel. Soft bubbles. Possibly the best oatmeal stout in existence.
