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.

Damn fine brew! Poured with a nice fine foamy head and plenty of lace. Rich stout aroma. Dark garnet color, almost opaque. Not overly sweet - very well balanced actually. Velvety texture. Quite drinkable, even to say perhaps a session beer. Yum! Having this at Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wis.

One of the better sweet stouts around. I was quite surprised with this offering from New Glarus, as some of their beers are hit or miss. Very rich and sweet.

12 oz bottle via CaptainCougar (thanks!). Pours a deep dark brown/almost black with ruby highlights and a large tan head. Nice aroma of mocha,chocolate,toffee. Taste starts with some sweet vanilla and molasses and ends with a nice bittersweet (mostly sweet) chocolate with some espresso and licorice in the background. Medium carbanation. Thin/medium body. Silky mouthfeel. Very easy drinking and balanced. Wish i had another one!

I had intended on having another Stout for number 500 but I can’t think of a better brand than New Glarus to annoint this milestone. This is definitely a sweet stout, very smooth, black glass liquid with big flavor and served up at its optimum temperature makes for gourmet slushing. Big sweet chocolate flavor no part of this beer overpowers but it lets you know its there. Great Beer to christen my 500th!!!

This was one outstanding stout. In fact, it’s quite possible one of the top 10 stouts I’ve ever had. A beautifully roasted behemoth with coffee, malts and hops all nicely done in the nose. Appearance of used motor oil. Mouthfeel was silky smooth, creamy and full-bodied. Flavor was off the charts good with a chocolatey oatmeal fullness that made you glad to be drinking a beer. Hoppy, malty and roasted coffee finish this out so nicely, you wish you could replicate this beer and have one more. Great stuff.

extremely dark - cant see through it - quickly diminishing head malty and rich with coffee, chocolate and roasted flavors. Pleasant lingering after-taste - overall goo oatmeal stout

Bottle. Pours a huge creamy brown head that fills the glass, stays for a good long time, and leaves small globs of lace. Not fizzy, but smooth and rich. Deepest ebony, almost opaque, even on the edges. Full roasted malt nose, gives way to sharp burnt bite and bitterness. Full on the tongue, round and meaty like a pork loin. Earthy like few stouts I’ve tried. Might that be the oats...I say yes. Some diesel fuel. Very little sweetness - I WOULD NOT CALL THIS A SWEET STOUT! Bittersweet cocoa. Long on the finish. Would have given it higher numbers with more aroma on the front end. Nicely subtle take on the style. Excellent job again Dan!

Deep dark color with some ruby hihghlights revealed by a strong light and a thick chocolate head. Thick, syrupy pour with an aroma of lots of roasted malt and a fruity sweetness in the background. Flavor of bittersweet cocoa , roasted malt and a sweet, roasted finish. Thick, smooth and impressive. I believe I’ll have another.
