On draft at haven gastropub in pasadena. Pour almost black with a tan head and lacing. Somewhat medicinal aroma. Flavors of chocolate and coffee. Lots of carbonation and bitterness in the finish.

Draught at Eastide Club Tavern, Olympia
Aroma has some artifical-like milk chocolate and some coffee. Leathery palate. Flavour has milk chocolate and somewhat bitter coffee. A bit on the sweet side and unusual - but nice.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours pitch black color with a nice 2 finger dense mocha head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Some nice spotty lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of milk chocolate, caramel, toffee, roasted malt, coffee, toast, herbal, oats, nuttiness, and light dark fruits. Very nice and well balanced aromas with good strength. Taste of milk chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, coffee, oats, toast, toffee, herbal, nuttiness, and light dark fruits. Low amount of bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of chocolate, caramel, coffee, roasted malt, toffee, oats, herbal, and light dark fruit on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance of roasted flavors with malt sweetness; and quite robust with no cloying sweetness. Medium carbonation and body; with a nice creamy and fairly slick mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with pretty much no warming noticed at all after the finish. Overall this is a very nice oatmeal stout. Very nice balanced roasted and robust flavors; and very easy to drink. Maybe a touch too fruity, but still very enjoyable.

Bottle at home ... deep black thin tan head ... dark roast ... coffee malts nose ... dark roast ... little oxadised roast ... soft milk chocolate ... soft oats

Bottle: Poured a black with a red hue to the edges the head was tan color and very creamy. Aroma nice coffee bean. Taste is coffee bean up front and yet still has that smooth oat and chocolate finish.

Deep dark brown body with a nice and rich tan head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt, caramel and tons of oatmeal. Medium-bodied; Roasty with a very sweet and potent finish. Aftertaste shows butter, nuts, caramel, chocolate and coffee - very nice finish and awfully strong. Overall, a very good beer and definitely nice to try! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Brown Jug (Old Seward) in Anchorage, Alaska sampled in my hotel in Seward, Alaska on 26-June-2010.

A deep dark stout with a thin brown head. In aroma, sweet caramel chocolate malt with dark fruits and nice sweet treacle. In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate malt with dark fruits, licorice, molasses, alcohol warmth, very nice. Bottle from Sept 2011, still OK.

Bottle from a trade with cbkschubert. Pours black with light brown head. Aromas of roasted malts and chocolate. Sweet milk chocolate and roasted malt flavors with some coffee. Medium to full body with minimal carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. A really nice brew. Thanks Craig.

Dark with a creamy, standing head. Chocolate, lightly roasted malts, oatmeal, sweet malts in the aroma. Velvety smooth body. Cocoa, roasted malts, a bit of coffee, light oatmeal, with a bit of herbal hops. Nice bitter finish. A solid stout that goes down nicely.

On tap at TCBF, pours black with a tan head. Aroma and flavour of roasted malt, cocoa, coffee and oats. Creamy, smooth palate. Great one.
