Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Anderson Valley Brewing Company
Style: Stout
Boonville, California USA

Nutty, creamy, chocolate body. Oat flavor isn’t too far in the front as to overwhelm, but it’s there. Dry, but this is still more Cali than UK.

Pours black, thin tan head. Nose is roasty grain, cocoa, hints of coffee. Flavor is sweet roasted malt, dry oats, bitter cocoa. Awesome oatmeal stout! Mouth feel is creamy and full.

Bottle (in NZ), a carbonated pour, deep black with a bubbly brown head. Milk chocolate and touches of sweet caramel and coffee on the nose. The full mouthfeel is both dry and creamy at the same time. Milk chocolate again with a grainy and dryish finish. Reminds me of the old Emersons Oatmeal Stout.

Pours a brown color with a dark brown head. Aroma is caramel, chocolate, brown sugar, toast, and roast. Flavor is chocolate, caramel, roast, toffee, roast, brown sugar, and bitter spicy finish,.

Bottle 12 oz. - Poured brownish black color with thick tan head. Aroma - very light chocolate malt and maybe oatmeal. Flavor - very nice smooth milk chocolate taste, makes for easy drinking!! Palate - creamy medium mouthfeel with good carbonation. Finish is somewhat sweet with little aftertaste. Overall - Very good Stout, not much for aroma but taste makes up fot it!!!

Bottle in the rake. Alround rating: Roasty sweet malt, good carbonation, some milky coffee, mellow. Good stuff.

Black color with a little head that doesn’t seem thick at all. Aroma consists of chocolate, oatmeal, and a little bit of coffee. Taste is pretty much the same. This has a nice and smooth coffee finish.
