Boulder Beer Obovoid Oak-Aged Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Boulder Beer Company
Style: Stout
Boulder, Colorado USA

22 oz bottle. Pours nearly opaque black with a 2+ cm rolling head that is tan and bubbly. Aroma is of smoke, roasted malts and bitter chocolate (chocolate dominates when it warms up a bit). Flavors are the same. Aftertaste is dominated by the smoke and bitter chocolate, with both flavors lingering for a while. Nearly no lacing, very light carbonation, medium body, hidden alcohol. Drinkable more for the smokiness than anything else, low etoh for the style.

22oz bottle shared by jasonp. Dark brown with red light at the bottom and sides of the glass. Hugely roast-heavy nose, with an astringent, roast-filled, charred wood and dusty, dry malt flavor. Even has some charred milk and dry, coarse butter and wood flavors, and it finishing not much different. A difficult beer to like.

Bomber, courtesy of my loving wife who bought this for me after a very long, painful weekend of work - thank you and love you too, Boo! Pours a cola brown with a towering creamy off-white head, great lacing. Aroma is dominated by roasted malts, chocolate, and some hints of woody oak. Flavor is a bit thin on the outset, but seems to fill in some on the middle and finish, with more roasty malts, coffee, chocolate and some slight woodiness. Agree with earlier comments likening this more to a porter than a stout, but pleasant and enjoyable whatever you call it...

Bottle. Pours a deep brown color with a fluffy tan head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, some chocolate and coffee, and a bit of oak. Interesting flavor profile, starts out smooth and chocolaty, moving into a middle that contained a roasty oak flavor, which mellows to a slight fruit hint upon the finish. Seems a bit thin in the beginning, but then it begins filling out. Alright, but nothing to get to pumped up about.

22oz bomber(courtesy of RSRIZZO)-A pitch black body with a nice small tight tan head which emits an aroma of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, cherry, and a faint of oak. Taste of this full bodied brew is of chocolate, coffee, with a nice oaky finish. A little light for a stout but still very tasty.

Bomber with MaliMisho. Poured dark black with a dark brown head as if to imitate an imperial stout (the bottle lists it as an ’empirical stout’). Aroma and flavor strongly of chocolate and some thick cherry. Not has heavy as I would have expected from looking at it.
