blackened breakfast

Who can resist an oatmeal stout?  It's breakfast and dinner at once!  They also tend to have a distinct sweet bent, which is often something I'm looking for in the evening.  This one had a label that provokes curiosity.
It's a flaming smile, right?
It's like chocolate syrup coming out, with a slight fuzzy head.  The sweet chocolate smell wafts out too, as soon as the bottle is opened and taking a whiff from the glass.  It has a sweet first taste, somewhat syrupy, but with a bitter undertone.  The bitter never takes over, it remains essentially a sweet beer.  After a while the taste gets sharper, with just a bite of sour, but always smooth and easy going down.
