Bottle @ home, shared with LeninCat. Thanks to Adam for sending. Deep brown / black appearance with a brown head. Heavy anise, dark fruits, and oatmeal in the nose. Light to medium bodied. Flavor has some chocolate but is even more dominated by black licorice and char. Moderate bitterness and sweetness. Ok. LeninCat raked this 4/5.

12 oz. bottle in trade with Fletche00. Pours black, with a huge, bubbly, tan head. The aroma is tobacco, bitter chocolate, coffee, resin, and molasses. Sticky sweetness, acidic, and lightly bitter, with a touch of sourness in the finish. Medium to heavy, sticky, slick, and highly carbonated. This is a great tasting stout, with a good mouthfeel.

12 oz. bottle. $1.60 single @ Binny’s. Nice chocolatey smell in the bottle neck. Also in the glass, with no sourness like a regular stout, nor alcohol. Tan colored head atop a opaque black body. Taste is very smooth as befits an oatmeal stout. Dark malts without the bitter "roastiness." Malt is thick and sticky on my lip. Again, alcohol in moderation here. Easy to take down with no ill effects.I would wish this had secondary fermentation instead of carbonation for an even smoother texture, but it’s wonderful just as it is.

Much too decadent of a stout to be clocking in at a mere 4.9%; there’s huge chocolate and mocha flavors abound in this bottle. The hops are kept to a minimum, but the slick texture prevents any unwelcome sugar build-up on the finish. Plus, the low ABV means you can drink a couple without risking tossing bar stools at the jukebox when "Take On Me" comes on. (2008)

Purchased at Bagel on Damen in Chicago, IL; enjoyed on a Monday night (first day back to work after Snowmaggedon 2011). Pretty solid. Aroma of mocha, chocolate, and heavy cream, very decadent. Appearance pure black with a thin tan head. Taste dominated by chocolate and lactose, also a bit of roasted malts, extremely smooth, really good stuff.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours deep darkness with nice mocha head. The aroma is dark roasted malts, burnt malts, licorice, chocolate malts and a hint of toffee. The taste is fairly rich albeit a bit thin with roasted and burnt malts mixed with chocolate and licorice. I also get a pulse of oatmeal twang. The taste becomes more and more roasty and burnt into the finish. It has a full flavor that has a dry oatmeal twang to it.

A solid, enjoyable oatmeal stout. Average tan, creamy head. Aroma filled with chocolate, coffee and toasted malts. Notes of molasses and vanilla. Light hop aroma, though the hops come through in the flavor. That is moderately sweet and moderately bitter, but the bitterness lasts well into the finish. Medium body, creamy texture. Soft carbonation.
