Brau Brothers Whirly Bird Oatmeal Stout

BOTTLE: very dark brown to black pour, not overly creamy body, but fairly full. Big roasty aroma, great coffee / roast / chocolate taste. I really like this one - put it up there with Goose Island Oatmeal Stout for me.

Bottle from thickfreakness. Thanks Charles! This dirty bitch pours black like the depths of a dark snatch with a creamy light tan head. Smell is tart and sweet, like it needs a shower. Taste is a bit tart, with some definite oatmeal creaminess, roasted but not bitter dark malt and a medium to full body. The smell and slight twang in this kill the beer, though. Maybe just because it’s been incubating under Charles’s nutsack for the past year, or maybe because the beer is not good. Who knows? Megan Fox is hot.

Pours deep dark brown with reddish brown edges and thin tan head. The aroma is full with roasted malts going to burnt malts then to earthiness, chocolate and molasses. Nice full aroma. The taste is similar but doesn’t seem as rich. I get roastiness mixing with burnt malts then turning toward chocolate and a bit of molasses. It ends with a modest level of roasted malts and some malt sweetness.

Thanks retorp for the share. Pours dark cola brown with tiny off-white head. Nose is oatmeal, chocolate, spice, dark malt, chocolate, dark fruit, and goodness. Flavor is chocolate, dark fruit, fizzy, and somewhat sugary. Nice sweet finish to this medium-bodied beer. Enjoyable.

Bottle, courtesy sebletitje. Black pour,. big cloud-like brownish tan head, sandy lacing. Chocolatey grainy nose, lactose, milky creaminess, some caramel and dry oats. Starts of sweet with lactose and bitter hops, with a big wave of oats, roast and toast in the finish. Thin-bodied, but still tasty and balanced. Drinkable.

Bottle thanks to Seabass: Poured a dark black with light beige head. Aroma is a musty chocolate, coffee, oat, and malt. Taste is a chalky chocolate with roasted malt, finished smooth and oat.

Courtesy of retorp. Pours black with mocha head. Aroma of roasted malty and loaded with lactose and some tartness. Taste, roasted malts, lactose, with some light chocolate for a light bitter finish. Oat was also light in presence. Overall the beer is easy to drink with a thin tartness, not sure if it comes from the lactose. Mouthfeel about mid way through each sip.

Bottle courtesy of Dalzale. Pours brown with a light brown head. Smells of vegetables, roasted malt, soy sauce, spice. Tastes tarte and sweet with a finish that yields some cherry touches.
