Dark Horse One Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Dark Horse Brewing Company
Style: Sweet Stout
Marshall, Michigan USA

Bottle. Black pour with a medium brown head. Super malty aroma with chocolate cream. Creamy chocolate flavor with some alchol presence and sweetness.

This poured a very dark brown color with a normal sized light tan head. Aroma was some sweet chocolate, lactose sugar, and roasted as well. Flavor was just what makes stouts great. Sweet chocolate, burnt malts, and roasted coffee, yum!

These guys just can’t seem to make a bad stout. Poured almost still and almost black, I saw a little bit of head in others glasses though so I guess we’ll say it can have a small head. Aroma is bacon like and smoky but still roasty. This one packs in some nice coffee flavors with a deep roasted malt and some burnt toast character, just slightly fruity with some raisin and dark fruit character. Very good.

Poured a very dark brown, almost black color with a nice tan head. Smelled of something smoked.. first impression was bacon, but later settled on popcorn. The flavor had a lot of chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, and oatmeal. Sweet finish

Thanks CanIHave4Beers! Not at all what I was expecting. Marshmallow, thanks for that descriptor Puzzl. Also, like freshly popped, unbuttered/altered popcorn, possibly tied in black patent. Aroma is a little smoky, like you burnt said popcorn. Flavor has nice black patent, but not nearly as much burnt toast as say, Decadence 07, but it is there. Some odd caramel biznus in there, part of the marshmallow, which is intriguing but maybe a bit much. Mouthfeel is a bit sticky. Low carbonation.

Bottled. I’ve had this multiple times yet have no rating for it somehow, so here we go. Very creamy and chocolately, with some chalky and carbonic notes at the back. Sweet marshmallow in the finish with a touch of roasted coconut and espresso. Quite nice, especially as it warms.

Bottle at the RBSG09 grand tasting. Black with a thick tan head. Roasted grain, light coffee, chocolate, and copper penny aroma. Dry and roasty with some dark chocolate. Medium bodied. Alright flavor, but weird aroma.

RBSG09 bottle at the grand tasting. Pours black with a huge fluffy brown head. Aroma is coppery; smells like a penny tastes. Underneath that there are notes of roasted malts and dark chocolate. Flavor is dark chocolate with a fat roasted character. A little astringent. Definitely the weakest of the DH seasonal stout series.
