On tap at CBS Scene/Patriot Place, MA. Reviewed from notes. Consumed Feb 2, 2013.
The appearance has a dark black body with a half finger white head that concaved in the middle to leave clingy lacing along the pint glass.
The smell is roasty with some light coffee up front, but as it warmed the oatmeal came out.
The taste is basically the same as the previously mentioned flavors in the smell, however the oatmeal is more forward than the smell as it didn’t need to warm up as much to get that taste.
On the palate, its about a medium with nothing harsh on the tongue. A good dry bitter aftertaste and finish accompanied the mouthfeel.
Overall, this is a good oatmeal stout that I would come back to.

Rcvd in trade.
The appearance has a clear golden color; is very transparent, has a very foamy white head that dies within thirty seconds leaving a messy foamy lacing sticking to the sides of the glass.
The smell has some sweet corn in the front and shows a somewhat grasy aspect to it
The taste is mainly sweet through the sweet corn. The grassiness helps to balance. There is a clean dry sweet aftertaste with a dry finish.
On the palate, she sits light on the body, comes across pretty sessionable as this would go pretty well with its respected food. Carbonation is pretty smooth - good for the style and good for me.
Overall, this is a pretty good American Blonde Ale that I would have again with its respected food or as the weather gets warmer if I lived in its distro.

Light bodied with fine carbonation. Balanced finish of toasty bread and dirt, along with accents of dark fruits. Solid effort here.
