Appears a black with brown edges with small light tan head that fades into a little cap. Little speckles of lacing are left around the glass.
Smell is of roasty malt, butter, and coffee grounds.
Taste is slightly sour, astringent, coffee, sweet, and only balanced by the bitter coffee and hops that seem strange against the sweetness.
Mouthfeel is bitter, sweet, and very thin. I wasn’t too impressed with this. BBB63 (4271), La Porte, Indiana, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 16, 2006 Updated: Oct 6, 2006 My 2000 American beer rating! Tap and bottle in the past hour: Pours a deep russet brown hue with a small fading frothy ring and minimal lace. The aroma has notes of chocolate, toasted malt, a hint of coffee and walnut, grassy and aromatic hops, and some acidic vapors. The flavor profile is twangy and sweet with a nice oat background supported by a fresh cut noble hop characteristic. Additional notes of bittersweet chocolate and earthy yeast round out the palate. The mouth feel is oily and lush but there is more than enough carbonation to excite the tongue. A well made Oatmeal Stout than is not heavy or rich, quite refreshing.
