Commercial Description:
Generous amounts of brewers oats give this beer a thick tan head and slick, almost oily mouthfeel. Roasted barley as well as black and chocolate malts give the beer its dark color and rich flavor. East kent golding hops are noticable but not overpowering. Our Oatmeal stout is definately a meal in a glass.

Bottle. Thanks Noah (htsprint1) and Jen. Dark chocolate brown with a small but frothy tan head. Nose is chocolate, oatmeal, roasted coffee, prunes/raisins, toasted walnuts. Medium body with a smooth, creamy feel. Flavor captures the aroma. Some sweetness and a bit of bitter coffolate. A nice drink.

Draft sample at Back Road Fest. Poured dark brown with an average creamy brown head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate toasted sweet malty aroma. Medium to full body with a creamy texture. Medium sweet roasted flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.

12oz bottle shared courtesy of egajdzis. Poured a dark and muddy brown color with an average sized off white head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, light coffee, and light smoke. Tastes of roast, smoke, chocolate, and coffee. Thinner body.

Poured a dark brown color with a small, light tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, some vanilla, and a bit of oatmeal. Taste of chocolate, bitter roastiness, with smoke, and some dried fruits. Seemed fully attenuated, dry, almost sour finish. Thanks BBB63!

Thanks to egajdzis for this... 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.

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.
