Pours black with the slightest ruby tint at the bottom of the glass when held to the light. A light brown head that looked promising for a few seconds, descends to a vanishing thin swirling island. Vanishing lace slides down the glass.
The smell is of roasted coffee with chocolatey maltiness and an earthy, slightly tart backing.
The taste is roasty and dry - sligtly metallic to start, but it soon fades and a rich, chocolatey sweet maltiness and a touch of roast come through. A touch of sour milk and earthy hops emerge in the finish, though the dark maltiness holds up, as well.
It is on the fuller side of medium-bodied. The carbonation is on the higher side of the style, putting something of a dent in the creaminess.
While I can't honestly say it's the richest, creamiest, smoothest oatmeal stout out there, I can say that it is enjoyable with a nice amount of dark maltiness, and a fairly complex balance. Well-done, overall!

Deep brown color, mocha color head and lace.
Aroma was cocoa, chocolate, oats, malts, coffee, roasted malts and some fruit.
Taste was bitter sweet chocolate, hints of coffee, malts and light caramel.
Medium body, medium carbonation. Very smooth, a good beer.
Mildly bitter and slightly burnt taste in the finish still worked somehow.

3/11....pours very dark brown, almost black with very low foam. Oat based nose, some coffee/chocolate. Soft malt flavor, smooth. Gritty bitter at the back end. Somewhat milky. Good.

I enjoyed this beer. I might not but it again, buy I liked it.
Look: Dark, but not totally opaque. Head is a dark tan, and doesn't dissipate as quickly as some stouts.
Smell: Slight chocolate, bitter coffee.
Taste: Better when slightly warmed. Milk chocolate, vanilla, coffee.
Feel: Light and creamy.
Overall: I enjoyed this beer. It's a little lighter than some stouts, yet retains the flavor and creaminess that is typically associated with heavier ones.
