It pours a near pitch black with a small head of foam tannish in colour.
The smell is of roasted malt and some bitterness that reminds me of dark chocolate.
The taste brings roasted malt, dark chocolate bitterness, a light touch of some smoke, which I enjoyed, and about mid palate some malt sweetness that was ok but could have been skipped.
Near medium bodied with medium carbonation. Decent mouthfeel.
Drinkability? An easy 5.0%abv quaffer, I ordered and had 3 pints in a relatively short period of time and *could* have had a 4th but I had some other things I needed to attend to. A nice find in Casper.

Had at the local Old Chicago:
Poured from tap into pint glass very dark almost picth black with almost no head of foam.
The smell has some good roastiness to it followed by a chocolate nose.
The taste is mildly roasty with good grainy notes(I’m told this is an Oatmeal Stout) and some chocolate that, if the mentioned flavours were just a bit more on the stronger side, I’d call this quite the tasty American Stout. As is, it’s still worth trying, evidenced by downing and enjoying a couple of pints..

Info on this beer isn’t listed anywhere that I could find but I’ve been enjoying this brew for a couple of weeks now at our local Old Chicago.
From my notes:
It poured a hazy, bordering on cloudy straw gold with about an inch of foam. Some sticky lacing was to be found.
The smell had a nice light tartness of raspberry and a solid wheat base that worked very well.
The taste was of that solid wheat base and a light but not too light presence of raspberry tartness. Fanciers of beers with some fruit, but not a fruit beer, could enjoy this one, me thinks. I did.
Light bodied with the carbonation also on the light side and that worked well too.
Drinkability? A very tasty and easy drinker and... I’d guess the abv would probably be a tad under 5% so sessionability is a forte of this brew. I’ll be drinking more until it is gone!

On draught at the Old Chicago yesterday.
The pour is a light hazy yellow with a small and quickly receding head of foam leaving little lacing behind.
The smell is big mango notes with a light yeasty aroma.
The taste has the mango in your face, light yeasty notes, some lemony tartness. It started off being very tasty but the further I got in, the more time I took to take the next sip.
Light bodied with a semi watery finish.
A decent brew that didn’t keep me all that interested for the entire session.

I had a pint of this at my local Old Chicago:
It poured a nice clear straw gold with a small head of foam that stayed for the entire session.
The smell is very delicate. I note some malt sweetness and that’s about it.
The taste is very delicate but there’s some malt sweetness with a touch of hop bitterness midway through that lasts through the finish. This is a really smooth beer that has just enough flavour to keep you interested and it’s quite a drinkable beer. I had it with a grilled sirloin steak..
Bottom line: I don’t have much experience with the style but this one certainly is a nice sample that is tasty and very drinkable. I think I found a new session beer! I can recommend it.

Enjoyed at the Lander Brew Fest, June 12, 2010.
About a 10oz serving.
Nice brownish red colour, small head of foam but darn good lacing.
The smell had some fruity aromas, slight lemon citrus, light malt-sweet and some bread.
The taste continued the fruity theme and was lightly malty, good citrus hoppiness but not over done, and had a general balanced feel though leaning towards the hops. A good taster.
Light bodied with medium carbonation, it started off nice and smooth but it finished thin and sort of watery.
Drinkability? A very easy drinking Bitter, my glass was empty pretty damned quick! Good stuff.
