look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Extremely dark, nearly black beer with a light, cream-colored head. Respectable lacing. Faint roasted barley and oat aroma. Not quite as powerful an aroma as I'd prefer, however. Bitter chocolate and a spice up front. Nice full, thick body. Dry and bitter finish. Solidly good, but nothing outstanding.

Pours jet black with a light tan head. In the aroma, sweet oatmeal and a nice roasty malt. In the taste, sweet oatmeal and a sweet to small bitter dry maltiness. A smooth and medium bodied mouthfeel, with a sweet oatmeal in the aftertaste. Just over average on a standard oatmeal stout.

A: Pours very deep chocolate brown with only a hint of light peeking through at the edges. The head is moderate and tan colored.

S: The smell is somewhat sweet with notes of caramel and toasted nuts. There's also a slight orange peel smell as well.

T: Interesting taste, with more of a fruit flavor than I expected. Reminds me of chocolate raspberries and oranges. There is also of course a deep dark malty flavor which lends a nice slightly bitter coffee-like finish

M: Full bodied with moderate carbonation.

D: Very nice brew to enjoy after a long day of work. It went down very easily

Another great maryland brewer here. This particuly good flavored stout, though it has some characteristics that almost make it seem more like a brown ale. Smell is sweet malty and smokey, the beer pours brown, almost black tan brown creamy head. It has a smokey sweet taste almost like toasted graham cracker. It's soft enough to keep it drinkable for a couple rounds and it has a smooth mouthfeel.

A: black, very black; thin carbonation and little head
S: light, sweet smell, a bit tinny
T: sweet molasses with oaty overtones; good fulsome taste
M: average, nothing special
D: if you love characteristic beers, you'll want to move up after one of these; but it's very drinkable at a social event

The head gets up over two fingers of loose foam, dimples and evaporates swiftly, light brown in color with not much lacing. Deep brown in color, not impenetrably opaque, even offers a dark orange around the rims where there's plenty of clarity evident. Friendly, almost unassuming nose of dark chocolate, coffee ice cream, oatmeal, caramel and then a slight elevation in the roast, notes of plum and black cherry too, nothing bitter nor especially hoppy. Medium-bodied, sweet in terms of the chocolate, coffee, butterscotch but the final texture, especially after you swallow, is dry. Oatmeal is clear, however, not that bready nor doughy. The carbonation actually might be a little too strong for its general heft, looses grip on your palate by the end. Again, has a simple presentation of cherry, dark berry fruit as well as a splash of orange zest. No guile, light enough to increase drinkability and nothing glaringly stands out as a negative.

Comments taken from my blog;

Hmm...Well Dos picked this bad boy up quite some time ago and some how it stayed in my fridge. SHHH don't tell anyone but this was a grocery store special assortment 12pk, and it was REALLY CHEAP. That said, for a straight forward Oatmeal Stout, this is tasty. Bang for buck possibly the best big/dark beer ive ever had. If you can find it snag it and forget the coffee in the morning cause this bad boy taste just like some nice cold coffee. While it is big it is very drinkable. Great Value and Good Beer.

A - both color and down remind me of cream soda.

S - solid malt sent. No bitterness or anything bad.

T - mild but good. Very solid oatmeal stout. Mo bad after taste or bitterness.

M - it is a little thin. Mild tingle on the sides of the tongue.

D - with the mild bit good flavor, lack of bad after taste and light feel... this could be an all night brew.

Poured from a bottle into a snifter. It pours a moderate brown and appears basically black and opaque, except at the edges. A 1/2 inch tan head forms and quickly reduces to almost no lacing.

The aroma was as expected. Primarily a roasted grainy component with more subtle and pleasant herbal and some chocolate sweetness.

The taste is solid as well, with primarily a roasted malt with some oatmeal-ish components that is followed by a hoppy finish.

The mouthfeel revealed a medium body and a low level of carbonation. It is fairly smooth and leaves a mild dryness at the end.

Overall, this beer is fairly drinkable. Nothing really overwhelmingly good and nothing really unpleasant, just solid.
