Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Breckenridge Brewery
Style: Stout
Denver, Colorado USA

Bottle. Pours a deep black body with a medium off-white head. Sourish malt aroma with notes of fruit, chocolate, and coffee. Bitter chocolate flavour and pretty creamy. Seemed a little bit thin at times but there’s still substantial coffee bitterness and sourish malt. Nice.

Rich coffee nose, chocolate and pit fruit, deep brown, pours a small tan head. Taste is coffee, chocolate and like the aroma some dark pit fruit. Medium bodied, a roasty, dry bitterness. Really fine! Thank You mds!

Bomber from BeerandBlues2. Pours black with a thick, tan, mousse-like head. Lasting cover, nice lacing. The aroma is roaste, molases, chocolate and oats. The flavor is oatmeal, sweet chocolate, roasty. The mouthfeel is very soft and creamy. Nice.

Pours black with a creamy dark brown head. There is a lightly roasted aroma and a flavor that is roasted yet smooth and mild.

Had a 2 ounce glass of this draft as part of a 6 beer sampler at the brewery. Pours to an opaque dark brown, with thick tan head that lasted thru all the other tastings (this one was last), and excellent lacing. Aroma was a pleasant blend of oatmeal and malt. The flavor was a good mix of chocolate and toffee, all blended with the malty sweetness. Unfortunately, despite the excellent appearance, the body was fairly thin, which led to a slightly watery finish. This beer could have been better, after the initial start.

Ok, I’m new to this rating thing, so I didn’t catch some of the subtle flavors that other raters described, but here’s what I thought: nice, black appearance (makes Guinness look light), with a thin, fading brown head. The aroma is not too strong, and is bittersweet. Has a nice bitter flavor to it, sort of resembling dark, black coffee, with a slight sweetness. FInishes a bit more bitter than it begins, sort of biting the back of your tongue, but still with a good taste. Very smooth palate; thick and creamy. Good overall stout, in my opinion.

Coffee, mollasses, caramel and toffee in a relatively creamy texture. finishes somewhat burnt and bitter, but not offensively so. OK

bottle. Pours black with some browns around the edges, tan head that fades. The aroma has detectable oats and sweet bready malts and small coffee bitterness. The oats are more noticeable in the flavor, though not as pronounced as in other examples of this style. Rather they blend well in the mix of coffee and subtle mocha. The first portion of the glass is absolutely great, but towards the end more off flavors come out like something that resembles burning newspapers. Sure, it is a little bitter but never gets overbearing in any direction.
