Commercial Description:
British brewers attempting to create a 'nutritious' beverage began to add oatmeal to the grist, and eureka!..out came a stunning oatmeal stout. Our version is very full bodied with an almost silky feel. This is a semi-sweet stout that is balanced with the coffee roastiness at the finish.

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 09/10/2008 Roast aroma. Black slightly rich on the palate and hoppy with some bitterness in a dry burnt roast finish.

Sample at the Downtown location. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black with a thin tan head that diminishes quickly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Dark chocolate and coffee in the nose. Medium, glassy smooth body with flavors of roasted coffee, semi-sweet chocolate and sweet malt. The finish is roasty with a short mild coffee aftertaste. Above average overall. Pretty sure Capitol City’s Blackout existed before Great Lakes’, but I doubt anyone will ever think of this one first when they hear the name.

Tap @ Capitol Hill location. Pours black with a thin and quickly dissipating head. Aroma is roasted malt, and the taste is roughly the same. It finishes up with a chocolate bitterness and a bit of an oily texture. Not bad, but not extraordinary.
