Highland Oatmeal Porter

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

Bottle - This one pours a deep reddish black with a VERY thin head.. odd for a porter.. Aroma is roasted malts and roasted malts.. nothing jumps out at you... Now, for the taste.. as everyone before me has said.. VERY VERY watery for a porter ... this needs some work.. the flavor is decent.. rather simalar to a barley wine.. i dunno im not a fan but its decent.. 10/20

Bottle. This was a bit of a disappointment. Rather on the thin side and definitely watery. You can taste and smell the roasted malts and some chocolate and even a bit of the hops, but nothing really distinguishes themselves. It is a good start, but needs a little more work. Not a bad drink, but somewhat underdeveloped.

Not a lot of aroma nor mouth feel. Actually kind of watery. Some roasted flavor. Not a big fan of this one.

This is another good porter. A very dark black pour with just to right amount of chocolate flavor and malt. With Yazoo no longer making their porter at this time, Highland will be taking its place in the meantime.

Bottle from beer swap: Dark brown to black pour with a small light tan head. Aroma of mild chocolate, some oats. Flavor, oats, roast malts and chocolate. On the dry side, there is a bit of roasty bitterness on the finish. Good stuff.

From a bottle. Excellent dark black appearance. Delicious aroma of roasty chocolate. The flavor is full and chocolaty, with a bit of muted bitterness. Very smooth and highly recommended.

This beer is loaded with malt. Nice but not great. The oatmeal is there but does not add a whole lot to the beer. Still pretty good.

Bottle from trade with decaturstevo. Pours a medium brown color with a small off white head that left a small amount of lacing. Nice aroma of roasted malts. This is a smooth, slightly thin porter that goes down really easy. Finishes with a hint of dark chocolate. Thanks Steve!
