Commercial Description:
The 'oatmeal' in the name is due the 10% oatmeal in the the grist of this brew. Oats give beer a real thick mouthfeel, something definitely desirable in a stout! But the real secret is in our lager yeast. Most stouts are made using ale yeast, but we wanted ours to be a smooth as our lagers! Black malt and roasted barley give the beer its color, and coffee-like flavors.

Bottle. Chocolate and oatmeal malt aroma. Black-brown color with thin head. Slightly sweet chocolate malt flavor. Nice but a bit light.

My first Iowa rating and I wasn’t even paying attention! One thing I was paying attention to...why in the hell does this label say Lager? Is this one of those weird state laws? Dark brown-red, lumpy tan head. Aroma is roasty, thin, metallic. Taste is roast, fruity, a bit metallic.

Aroma - robust roasted malt, subtle coffee; Appearance - black, opaque, thin though creamy head, poor lacing; Flavor - basic malt front, slightly sweet back, somewhat bland finish; Palate - crisp for the style, good body; Overall - decent effort, lager yeast creates an abundantly crisp profile that distracts from the overall flavor, more of a black lager than a stout.

Bottled. A dark red - almost brown beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and lots of caramel, almost caramel soup, making it a bit cloying towards the finish. The body is a bit light. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

12oz bottle. Poured a dark, dark brown (almost black) color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of oats, chocolate, some roastiness, and coffee. Tastes of some oatiness, chocolate, and lighter coffee. I thought this one smelled pretty damn good and was somewhat let down with the tastes (on the weaker and thin side).

12oz bottle into a pint glass. This has a nice front and middle, but it leaves a funny aftertaste that isn’t well suited to the brew.

Pours black with thin off-white head. Mild aroma of malts. Flavor was roasted malt, mild coffee and chocolate. Too carbonated for my taste. I didn’t like the lager yeast, give me a Guinness instead.

Dark brown, ruby highlights with a thin tan head that doesn’t last too long. Aroma of sweet malt, roasted malt and milk sugar. Taste of chocolate, sweet/roasted malt and milk sugar. Mild dry and roasty finish.
