Highland Oatmeal Porter

Brewed by Highland Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Asheville, North Carolina USA

Ok, this beer is overly sweet, very thin with little balance. It is like a decent homebrew extract beer. Overall, It just misses on most areas. Thin mouth feel, sweetness, little body, it is like a extract beer with extra caramel malt added. Seriously, not very good.

Courtesy of Sammy. It’s a dark brow with a red hue and a dense, creamy head. The aroma has ntoes of roasted malt, hops and light coffee and chocolate. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of roasted malt, slightly bitter coffee, light chocolate and a roasted bitterness in the finish. It’s not very full-bodied, but it’s smooth, nice and quite charming.

Poured deep brown/ black with a thin head and good lacing. Nutty and chocolaty aroma. Almost milk stout like in sweetness, with the oatmeal giving a nice smoothness to a velvety texture.

Not too shabby, but pretty weak on the oatmeal. Kind of watery as well. Pretty nice aroma, with oats and grains adding some nice complexities, but they seemed to get lost in the flavor. Pretty basic really.

12oz - Dark brown, off white creamy head. Soft toasty coffee and vanilla roast aromas warm to lighter notes of chocolate oatmeal. Light milk chocolate cocoa and roasty coffee flavors round to a bittersweet finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A decent drinkable porter..

Poured a mahogony dark brown nearly black with a medium tan head. Mild aroma of sweet malt with toffee notes. Medium body - slightly roasty but not over the top. Great mouth feel from the oats - smooth and creamy. Very well balanced ported.

You get the roasted tones immediately in the nose. Nice black/brown pour with a tan head. Some hop character not too much though. It is very well balanced with the flavors, which are pretty traditional for a porter.

Outstanding. Really great mocha, roast malt and coffee flavor. A great brewery. Can’t wait to see what comes from them in the future.
