Commercial Description:
This dark ale is a hearty and satisfying reward for those of us who embrace the frozen tundra. Uncut oatmeal fresh from Chilton, Wisconsin gives this Stout a "sink into it" smoothness that slides you into its depth. Handcrafted English Chocolate malt and Wisconsin Victory malt combine to balance this robust ale. Expect this ale to pour a luxurious rich head over a rich black ruby body. The powerful malt bouquet will greet you as you tip this silky smoothness from your glass. Our Oatmeal Stout is handcrafted in the time-honored traditions. Serve just above room temperature and relax -- road construction season will soon return.

Bottle. Black pour with a touch of red on the sides of the glass and a decent brown head. Strong roast oat aroma with a bit of dry hay. Light coffee and heavy roasted flavor. Finish carries a bit of fruit with a light donut flavor. A bit too much like cold coffee for me. Ap-4 ar-6 tas-5 pal-2 ov-9

Very dark black color with a tan head. The aroma was sweet, roasty and creamy. The flavor had a light sweetness and mild acidity. Raosty malt is the dominant component. Medium bodied.

Black color; thin brown head. Simple but very nice aroma, basically roasted malt and coffee. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel, good malt, caramel and roasted malt well combined together. Very pleasant.

Bottle courtesy of hopdog! Black bodied with a medium sized foamy brown head. Nose is roasty and chocolaty with obvious coffee notes. Taste is sweet malts, chocolate, light coffee, roasted malts and slightly burnt oatmeal. Body is medium and is damn smooth. Very slick and creamy. Fine carbonation. Finishes with more roasted malts, very soft fruit notes, chocolate, and coffee. Nice beer!

12 oz bottle. Taste is nice and roasty with a sweet graininess to it. Light and mellow body with some coffee and a nice malt/hop balance.

The stream of beer coming from the bottle showed a bit of a red hue to it. In my glass it is almost black, again with a hint of red. A coarse soda like head sat about .75 inches tall and faded, while fizzing like soda, into just a ring with some residuals. Roast aroma with hints of espresso and dark possibly chocolate malts. This beer feels kind of thick in the mouth with the lively carbonation, though I suspect it is actually a tad bit on the thin side. Up front the flavour is unassuming, but it subetly brings itself out in a flavourful chocolate malt with roast coffee and a hint of bittering hops. Letting this beer sit in my mouth for a few moments, the roast flavour pronounces itself more with a bit of a sweet side. The body really is a bit fuller than I had previously feared, which is good considering it is an outameal stout.
