A Foreign-Style Stout, this beer is simply a stronger version of a traditional Dry Stout.

"Bottle from Topps in Tempe. The pour was choco-black, tannish colored head, good retention, good lacing. The aroma was milky chocolate, light coffee, some licorice, toffee, light roast. The flavor was firm milky/lactic notes, chocolate the primary dark malt flavor, licorice, toffee, and a touch of fruit. The mouthfeel was milky thick, not syrupy though, very smooth."

"Tasted at Huntington Beach location. It's nice to go to a brewpub and have a nice stout on tap. Most of the locations I'm used to have a really underwhelming stout but this was a really pleasant change. An aroma with plenty of roasted barley character, soft coffee and licorice notes and a bit of chocolate. Flavor profile is much the same way but more emphasis on the coffee, chocolate notes along with the roasted barley. Appearance is jet black, light brownish head, one-finger thick. Overall another tasty offering from Oggi's."

"This is a little on the sweet side with a good amount of caramel in the flavor and a little roast. It's not too heavy, but to get that it's also a little thin. It's a fairly tasty stout but underwhelming compared to certain others."

[5] Review by EyeChartBrew from CA, Liechtenstein who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/3/2005 12:52:07 AM)
"Got this last night, partially out of boredom with the Oggi's IPA, and partially to have something new and different. And to be honest, I'm glad a got this. Nearly black body, with a white halo of foam on top. Very fresh, very aromatic roasted barley in the nose, and a nice clean barley body. Hopping enough to counter-act all of the barley and chocolate malt and malted grain, but not over-the-top -- very appropriate for the style. I don't drink a lot of stout, but if I did, I would definately make this one of my top choices.
