Independence Oatmeal Stout

Formerly brewed at Independence Brew Pub
Style: Sweet Stout
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA

A nice, creamy head that faded quickly but left sip lines and lacing. Good strong body with a pleasant roasted grain flavor. Spent the better part of the afternoon with this one. Next time I’m in Philly this is a priority stop!

Sampled on draught at the brewpub in Philadelphia, PA. Pours to a jet black color, with a thick, creamy, tan head, and a soft carbonation. The nose on this beer is very nice, with lots of good dark chocolate, sweet malt, and fruity estery aroma of black currant. The palate is soft, silky, and creamy, with good flavors of chocolate, lightly roasted coffee, and estery flavor of currant. This beer finishes with more good dark chocolate, and coffee flavors up front, then ends with a slightly bitter sweet dark chocolate flavor that lingers. A very creamy, and delcious, sweet stout. Makes for a nice beer to enjoy at the brewpub, and an ideal match with the deserts on the menu. My favorite of all the Independence beers I tried.

Black color, kept an excellent throughout the pint, chocolate undertones, a hint of coffee in the aftertaste, full body, very rich head, a lot of sweetness to the overall taste, very nice stout

Looked and amelled very much like Guinness. The taste was roasted and dry with coffee and nuts. Light, drinkable and good. My favorite of the four beers they had online.

Nitro at the brewpub. Poured opaque black with a tight tan, creamy, head and nice lacing on the glass. Sweet chocolate, roasty, and marshmellow aroma. Roasted and toasted oats, sweet chocolate and anise in the taste. Mouthfeel was milky and creamy with very light carbonation. By far the highlight that this brewpub had to offer last night.

A full-bodied stout that pours as black as Guinness. Very long-lasting nitro head with plenty of lacing. It’s brewed with milk sugar and malted oats; 5.0 ABV. I enjoyed it!

Best beer they’ve got on tap. Cood coffee bean aroma. Very nice looks black with a very tight creamy light brown head, lots of lace. Flavor is perfect mocha, a smooth, milky blend of coffee and chocolate, and sweet. palate is smooth but slightly watery. Nice beer, enough to give me some faith in this brewer.

Had this both from the cask and on draft. Roasted oat impressions and smooth. Nutty and smoky. An OK stout.
