Big Sky Slow Elk Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Big Sky Brewing Company
Style: Sweet Stout
Missoula, Montana USA

Pours very dark brown, black with full pint. Not much head to speak of nor much retention. Roasted aromas strong on the nose and a maybe a slight hint of chocolate. Dark roasted flavor, slight bitterness on the tip of the tongue. Ton of mouthfeel but medium carbonation.

On tap at Beachwood about a week ago. Another cool surprise at Beachwood; great selection that night. Color was a dark brown color with not much head. Aroma of fruit, caramel, roasted malt and a general sweetness. Flavor was sweet, with carame and roasted malt. Felt that it was above average for the style.

Bottle... Poured dark brown -- near black -- with a nice, creamy, light brownish/tan head. Roasted aroma of that classic stout-like nutty, sweet, cocoa malt character. Lots of carbonation and pretty robust for the lower alcohol, and a little hoppy as well. Nice chocolate flavors with a dry, grainy finish.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. The smell is roasty, oatmeal, malts, ok. The look is brown, clear, with a beige colored head. The taste is sweet, oats, and some chocolate.

Dark pour with thinnish head. Aroma of mud, roasted malt. Drinking this reminds me of going to haunted houses in the middle of hillbilly Illinois. Its somewhat milky. A bit thin. Pretty smooth, albeit pedestrian, stout.

bottle thanks to bhensonb. poured dark brown with a beige head. aroma of grains and dark roast. flavor was grains, dark roast, and coffee. light body.

12 oz. bottle- Pours deep black with a thin head, aroma is of coffee and malt. Flavor is a bit light, but still very drinkable, I polished off the six pack in one night.
