Highland Oatmeal Porter

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

Bottle poured a clear dark brown with a small lingering tan head. Aromas of bitter chocolate, earthiness, light charcoal and light carmel. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of earthiness, dark chocolate, light roastiness and a hint of vanilla with a smooth dry malty finish.

Dark black with a creamy cocoa head. Smell is soem roasted malts. The taste is oaty (what a surprise) and not too strong. The drinkability was pretty good, I could see my self knocking back three of these in a sitting (if I had them). Decent porter but nowhere near my favorite. Still a solid beer.

Quality, but not over the top crazy good. The best part of this beer is the palate.

I think I got this in a trade, or while visiting TN... either way, I didn’t take good notes for some dumb reason.

poured dark brown with a quickly fading white head that left mediocre lacing. smells of roasted malt, and oats. taste is sweet and light to start with very little aftertaste.

355 mL as a bonus from dkachur! Pours a deep amber- definitely not black- with a very thin, tan head that dissipates quickly and leaves a smidgen of lacing. Aroma is chocolate malt, a little roasted malt, some toffee and brown sugar. Taste is lots of brown sugar, milk chocolate. Way too sweet for me. Very oily palate.

Low smell. Taste has lots of "hints" in it...hints of chocolate, hints of coffee, but never really commits itself to anything substantial. Instead, there is a semi-metallic tone to the flavours which cancels out any good thing. carbonation is also rather high; which is not a good thing. But...there is a nice malty feeling and a semi-scotchy presence to be felt. It"s not all bad.

Pours dark brown witha small tan head. Notes of chocolate, toast, some hop bitterness. Good beer.
