Pours black with a frothy white head. Aroma of rye bread. Taste has smoked wood notes, some brown sugar notes. Smooth mouthfeel. Palate has some of the typical coffee and roasted malt elements, more wood smoke. Good.

Draft at Woodstock Inn Brewery in North Woodstock, NH. Pitch black with a small beige head. Very dark roasted barley flavor. Smooth. A little thin for the style.

Dark brown to black, 1 finger creamy head. Very faint nose, a bit of chocolate. Taste is thin, very high bitterness, roasted walnuts. a mild honey taste. It’s thin, almost no body, very bitter but not a challening beer. Pretty good.

Reviewed from notes. Another beer from Eric.
This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a black color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. There was some light speckled lacing running here and there in a messy sort of way around the glass.
The smell was roasty with a full grainy/oatmeal aroma about it. A light chocolate and coffee combination then came about to fulfill a wonderful aroma all about.
The taste was once again roasty and grainy with a light chocolate and coffee rolling about on my taste buds.
On the palate, this sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. The carbonation seemed just a tad under for the oatmeal stout style. Am I complaining? Actually, I didn’t mind it for the most part.
Overall, not a bad oatmeal stout, I think I could do this again.

Bottle shared with cousins on Martha’s Vineyard, MA. Pours clear brown with a soft, beige foam head. Smells infected and tastes VERY infected. All kinds of tangy, almost soure fruits. What a bummer.

I’ll start by saying I’m not a real big fan of this brewery. However, I got a 22 oz. bottle at a cost of $4.25 @ Gary’s Beverage. So At that price I was willing to give them another chance. Used an English pint glass showing me deep brown/ nearly black liquid with nice full, dense tan head. Plenty of retention. The nose was nice enough with Roasted oat and light chocolate. Unfortunately that’s the highlight of the experience. Flavor of butter, light roast, and diacetyl. Thin body with an unpleasant butter taste that should not be found in any stout. If I knew they used Ringwood yeast in this brew, I would not have purchased it. FYI, bottle best before date Sept 2012.

Pours a fairly solid black color with a creamy tan head on top. Smells a bit sweet, roasty with chocolate, caramel butterscotch and earthy hops playing supporting roles. The taste is kind of a mess. Roasted grains atop a mountain of butterscotch gives a really unpleasant burnt toffee kind of taste to it. Medium body and level of carbonation with a sweet burnt mouthfeel. I couldn’t finish this one and the rest of the bottle ended up down the drain. If your going to play with ringworm yeast do a diacetyl rest or something to quell that horrible buttery aroma and flavor.
