Overall Impression:
I liked this one a bit more then the Bourbon version. I found the Oatmeal to be lacking (hardly detectable) mostly, I just got roasted malts, chocolate, and coffee. Anyway, it was a touch thin, and a not overwhelmingly good, but a nice stout, my second favorite beer of the visit (losing by a nose to the Brown).

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 17, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Black with a creamy tan head that leaves some lace. Coffee, roast, and lightly sweet dark chocolate aroma. The flavor has a light roasty edge, low bitterness, low hops, and just a light sweetness. Smooth due to the good carbonation level, and probably the oats, but too thin for a 6.2% oatmeal stout. Balanced and smooth, but lacking and great or interesting flavors. The best of the bunch overall, though not as great for the style as the light lager. LooseCannon (930), Norfolk, Virginia, USA
