"oured a deep black with huge tan head that looks like you could stand on. The aroma was of malt with hints of carmel and coffee. It was sweet but not too sweet. It went well with spicy gumbo. The sweetness of the beer cut the heat of the gumbo"

"Samuel Smith holds the bar for Oatmeal Stout. Do it very hard to find anothrr to measure up. This one has the nice heavily dark body with a brown head what has a very nice, long lasting head. The taste though has too much of a coffee-taste with bittering that comes from that flavor."

"I have a early flight tommorrow morning back to SD, after a long and rather unproductive trip out here in Bath ME. So I wanted to end the evening with something nice and roasty to snuggle up with.
Black-as-a-moonless-night, with a thin but ever-present ring of tannish foam higging the rim of the glass. No lacing.
Roasty (coffee?) and slighty sweet, in both the nose and in the mouth. More toffee-ish than what I would have expected from this sort of Stout. In addition, seems to come across a little on the sweet side in the flavor. Normally a problem for me (e.g. I detest most Red Ales due to their sweetness, for example), but in this case, it seems to counter-balance the roasted coffee-ness of this beer 1-for-1.
My only qualm is that this Oatmeal Stout doesn't seem to have much in the way of Oatmeal-ness to it. More dry and a little bitter, than what I normally associate with Oatmeal Stouts.
A rather off-center Stout, that seems to stray more towards Dry Irish than anything else. Drinkable enough, but I can't say that I'm not a little disappoitnted by this one, to be honest....
