Nimbus Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Nimbus Brewing Company
Style: Sweet Stout
Tucson, Arizona USA

Pours a black color, some brown peaking around the edges. The aroma is full and roasted, with some nicw chocolate notes coming through. the flavor is a bit more intense than expected, with thhe roasted note leading the charge. The mouthfeel is a touch too thin.

Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Black/brown and brown/amber edges. Roasty malt and bittersweet dark chocolate aroma. Same flavors, rather thin, though. Medium/light body, smooth, a bit watery. Very drinkable but too thin.

This beer was actually quite tasty. Aroma of chocolate and roastiness. A nice sweetness to this one. Not usually a fan of sweet stouts but this one was good.

Bottle. Pours an opaque black with minimal light tan head. Nose is roasty malts, coffee and cocoa. Palate is much the same – roasty, coffee, chocolate – touch of sour in the finish. Thin mouth feel for the style.

Pours a dark brown with a medium brown head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, brown sugar and malts. Flavor is chocolate, coffee and dark malts. Solid stout.

Rich reddish choclate pour; crown of a thin metallic tan. Aroma of chocolate grahams, minerals, red licorice, molasses; whisks of tangy acrid coffee and some vegetal greenness. Flavor lingers for a while on astringent minerals and soap. There’s a vague, tangy, buttery quality seeming to blend the demons of butterscotch and green apple into one infenctious monolith, but that impression never solidifies.

Served at cellar temp, that bland acrid bitterness is inescapable. Once fully warmed to room temperature, lighthearted chocolate and caramel qualities shuffle in over a floral and unripened nut dominant body. Hard to place these weird flavors. Red licorice, some pear and bread, and sugary milky coffee. Palate is smooth and thin to medium in body; finishes with some off putting lactic sweetness and a length of basic nutty bitterness with some brown spice. An impressively, overwhelmingly odd example. Thanks Joshua!

Thanks to FlacoAlto for the bottle. Poured deep brown with a thin but lasting head. Aroma of bitter chocolate, coffee and dark malts. Really dry for an oatmeal, with a creamy (if thin) mouthfeel. Very good stout.

Poured into Red Sox pint glass. Pitch black, next to zero carbonation. Non-existent head. Nose isn’t over pronounced. Some malt, coffee scents. Easier to drink than I thought, thinner than it poured. A little lighter in the palate, but a great aftertaste rich w/coffee and chocolate. Nice combo of taste and drinkability.
