Commercial Description:
Rich in color with a strong body and a very creamy texture, the Oatmeal Stout is a true beer lover's brew. The slight hop aroma distinguishes this stout from any other. The Oatmeal Stout is robust, full of body and flavor, and topped off with a creamy light brown head.

Possibly the best beer anywhere in the world. I really like oatmeal stouts, and this beer consistantly is an example of the way to make them right.

I was very impressed with this beer. It had a hint of grapes and a lot of coffee taste. It was very good.

Goddamn...I have never had the assult of so much coffee grounds...the carmel and roasted malts really shine on the palate...give it about 25 seconds and the beer will present it’s flavor. A MUST TRY for any fan of the style

12 oz. bottle. Poured a deep molasses, very opaque. Couldn’t even see through it in a glass-bottom mug! Slight tan head, doesn’t dissipate. Aroma is slightly nutty, malty. Molasses flavor hits in the middle, wow. Sweeter than I expected, not unpleasant. Not too thick on the palate either, looks thicker than it feels. All in all a great beer I could see myself coming back to.

Sweet coffee aroma with a hint (promise) of hops. Average-sized, tan head, though mostly diminishing. Brown body; fully opaque. Very good flavor, with almost a perfect amount of bitterness for a stout. However, as it warmed a pervasive diacetyl taste dominated the finish, causing a point deduction. Still, very solid.

Aroma of coffee and malt. Black and thick with a small head that left a lace. Flavours of bitter coffee, very well done so that you know it is there but is not unpleasant or overpowering. Also some chocolate. A very heavy beer. I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was, I never heard of gray’s. Not so "stout" at 5 and change, but still in the top of its class.

Yet another reason why Wisconsin qualifies as the Most Underrated Beer State. In addition to Lakefront (the best brewery in the USA, wanna make something of it?), Rowlands (haven’t tried, but hope to soon!), New Glarus, Sprecher, Leinenkugels, we have this, one the the best sweet stouts in the world. Intensely vinous, coffee-and-caramel flavours vying for dominance, a lot going on in this one! 12/2001 rerating (bottle); not as sweet as I remember it from last year, but still very winey, with lots of coffee and roasted grain flavors as well. I downgraded it just a tad, but still holds its own with the best of them. 9/02 pretty close to last rating; great sweet stout, verging on the robust in its hoppier finish. On Wisconsin!

Very nice dark black color,small tan head that dissipated quickly leaving little behind.Sweet roasted malt aroma,with a nice chocolate hint to it.The taste is roasty and coffeeish with a mild chocolate tone and very mild hops.The after taste is roasty with a nice chocolate and mild coffee taste.with a nice mild feel to it.This is one hell of a brew IMO and well worth trying,much better then some of there other brews if not the best out of the lot so far.
