Iron Hill Oatmeal Stout

On draft at the Newark location. The pour was one of those wonderful stout experiences, bubbles separating out as a separate phase, slowly, delayed, very nice. Very generous tan to chocolate colored initial head that was very persistent, sat there looking pretty. The aroma was dark fruits, chocolate, some light roast. The flavor was chocolate, dark vinous fruits, some roast, and oatmeal aspects, although this was more overdone on the dark fruit/vinous side of things than I like my oatmeal stouts to be. Thick, a little syrupy, but kept honest by the oatmeal presence, I presume.

Draft @ Newark-Pours dark brown w/a carbonating "Guiness" type pour. Kept it’s head thru the brew. Aroma of cookie dough. Bittersweet flavor of oatmeal, chocolate chip, bread dough & sugar. Kind of like drinking an oatmeal, chocolate chip cookie. This was very enjoyable, quite smooth & easy to drink. Great after dinner brew.

Newark Poured dark brown with a "Guiness" looking head and cascading carnonation. Nitrous induced I believe. Aroma is oatmeal with chocolate chips and sugar. Flavor starts off with a semi sweet brown sugar and oat taste followed by some mild chocolate and roasted malts.

Nitro @ Media. Sweet roast-malty aroma with hints of chocolate and coffee. Taste is very sweet & creamy with smooth roasted oat & barley taste plus hints of chocolate. Not very thick, but good for a basic sweet stout. Tasty one that is sure to please.

Draft, from P-vllle. This one pours hazy dark brown with aroma of oaty molasses, chocoff, and roasty malt. The flavor is oaty, on the sweet side, rich, with chocoff and oats. This one is very good, and IMHO underrated by about 0.5-0.7.

Pours black with a foamy off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts, oatmeal. Taste was sweet-oatmeal, chocolate with some bitterness with hints of coffee. Medium body and very smooth.

North Wales location. On Nitro. Pours murky dark brown with a creamy head. Aroma of roast, coffee, and chocolate. The flavor is prodominately roast and coffee, with some traces of choclate, and a very mild hoppy presence. Nice thick body, lacks any punch or bite. Good brew.

Nitro at NorthWales. Dark black body with a big creamy head. Aroma was oatmeal and roasted malt, with the oatmeal standing out. Flavor was good with a medium body feel and slight bitter taste. Very smooth and enjoyable.
