Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Breckenridge Brewery
Style: Stout
Denver, Colorado USA

Bottle. Poured a dark brown with medium tan head with short life. Aroma was nice, dark roast with some floral notes. Flavor was of dark roasted malt thats not very heavy. Palate was somewhat water, I expected that at least the oatmeal would give it a better feel, but I was somewhat dissapointed. Overall it’s not a bad stout.....

Pretty small beer for a stout. Dark brown pour, small tan head. Nose of coffee, chocolate, dark malts, Taste similar, finishes with coffee, no real hops. Average mouth feel. Actually, pretty average om every way.

Pours dark, almost black. Huge, continuously bubbling, frothy, dark tan head. The head lasts about 5 minutes. Aroma of nastly startches or something. Flavor is good to make up for it. Flavor contains like roasted malt primarily, but the roasting is highly detectable. Mouthfeel is milky and thick Interstingly enough, the oat taste does come out in the finish.

Large amounts of roasted and chocolate malts make this a very flavorful beer. Too much chocolate malt and not enough oatmeal in my opinion. A beer with such a strong chocoalte malt presence also should have more alcohol/malt flavor to help balance and this one did not. Overall a very flavorful stout just not the right balance of flavors for me.

One of my favorite styles so this was a disappointment. Brown to black in color with a ok head. Just a touch of oatmeal in the aroma and taste. Some sweetness with coffee flavors.

12oz bottle. Dark brown with 1/2 inch light brown lacing head. Sweet raisin, mild oatmeal in aroma. Deep malt at first lead to bitter finish. Cola-like with coffee flavors, I can barely taste the oatmeal. A touch watery. Good, but not great.

From bottle : Very dark pour with a lot of carbonation, looks like soda, with an offwhite head and spidery lacing. Aroma is slightly faint, but what i do get is some roasted notes, with dry chocolate smells. Taste is roasted coffee beans and chocolate, finishes dry and kinda bland, with expresso notes, not much aftertaste. Kind of a thin body, real light mouthfeel, but has a slick feel with soft carbonation.

Pours deep black with a red under tone. Like a cherry Coke. Nice creamy tan head with a blend of large and fine bubbles that dissapate into a thin lace with fine brussels around the glass. Initial taste isn’t bad, sweet, but not overpoweringly so. I get oatmeal taste and then.........painted metal. I have no idea where it came from but that last taste is like someone left a galvanized washer in the bottle. Very sad. It starts great. My solution is just to take the next sip before the metal taste starts, that way, you only get the metal taste once. I believe the industry term is "slamming"
