Blue Point Oatmeal Stout

Pours dark copper with a tan head. Smells of chocolate, roasted malt. Tastes of roasted malt, some peppery hints, spicy.

(Cask at George Keeley, NYC) Black. Small tan cloured head. Roastedness and chocolate in aroma. Full bodied and soft palate with little carbonation. Roastedness, ash, bitterness and chocolate in taste. Roasty and burnt aftertaste. I didn’t find the flaws the three earlier raters mentioned. Quite enjoyable.

Chelsea Cask Festival: AGreed with Pwn3d, not sure if this even counts as a stout. This brew has alot of sweet malts, high sugars, but none of the silky texture they advertise. A very thin body, unbalanced and overrated!

At the Chelsea cask ale festival. A somewhat watery stout with malty backings. Dissapointing.. I didn’t even think this was a stout..

Draft at Fette Sau.Well was enjoying my meal entirely more than this beer. Very thin for an oatmeal stout. Slight chocolate and roasted notes. Nothing special here.

At the World Beer Festival in Durham NC I tried the Cask Conditioned Oatmeal Stout - poured a dark brown/black with little head. Aroma of malt, chocolate, toffee, and caramel. Flavor of chocolate coffee with caramel malt. Nice smooth body with a desert like finish. Very solid brew and was lucky to find this gem being offered at the WBF.

Draft. Pours near black with a khaki head. Roasty aroma, with coffee and a light sweetness. The flavor has roasted malts and coffee, some lighter burnt/smoky notes, a touch of sweetness, and a roasty finish.

On tap at Blue Point’s tasting room. Pours black with a shortly lived tan head. Pleasant aroma of roasted malt with perhaps just a hint of coffee in the nose as well. The flavor is mostly tobacco along with some roasted malt. Very mild bitterness at the finish and somewhat dry. I’m really not seeing any influence from the addition of the oats; this beer just has no oomph and lacks the silkiness on the palate. Below average stout.
