SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Sep 27, 2009 bomber - thanks clint!! dark brown with tan head; aromas mainly of chocolate and dark fruit; bourbon comes heavy at first sip though hardly present in the aroma; plumes, chocolate, vanialla; good amount of sweetness with dry, dark fruit in the finish bvc (227), Kenmore, Washington, USA Sep 27, 2009 22oz bottle from crizzle. Dark rootbeer brown with a little bit of a tan head. Sweet cola slightly roasty vanilla and some peatiness and fresh plum going on. Lots of oak with thin body. Some aspertame in the after taste. I don’t know that an oatmeal stout is the best choice for a Jim Beam barrel. after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA Sep 27, 2009 22. pours clear but very dark ebony with ruby highlights. thin grayish rim. very mild slightly sweet nose. light watery body. mild sweet caramel and chocolate on the mid palate, a little bit of vanilla showing. mild finish. drjay44 (758), Salida, Colorado, USA Jul 2, 2009 Updated: Jul 6, 200922 oz. bottle, shared with Peter. Pours a thin almost non existant head, no lacing over a dark, clear cola colored body.........nose is heavy with burbon, bit of cocoa, chocolate, coffee......taste initially is sweet dark roasted malt (chocolate, coffee, slight molasses) then Bourbon flavors come in and dominate....mouth feel is cola like. This is not a good beer and is completely unbalanced. The nose and flavors are dominated by the Bourbon, there is absolutely no creaminess from oatmeal (although I can detect it) and the whole concoction reminds me of Bourbon and cola. RSRIZZO (1345), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA May 18, 2009 Color is a near solid black amber with mellow carbonation and a thin tan head. Aroma is a roasted bourbon scent. Taste is light and toasted. Starting with a medium body it goes down easy with a light crisp feel. Finish is roasted with flavors of chocolate, bourbon, oak and a hint of vanilla. After taste is a little sour with a hint of alcohol. Overall its a nice and very drinkable Stout, but its a bit light. WeeHeavySD (2941), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Feb 25, 2009 Bomber. Pours black. with a tan head. Bonused to me a little ways back. Nose is sweet. Taste is chocolaty and has a touch of bourbon. Not bad. zathrus13 (1288), Mount Laurel, New Jersey, USA Nov 28, 2008 Dark brown, with a tan head. Aroma is bourbon, roasted malt, chocolate, and vanilla. Flavor is chocolate, roasted malt, and bourbon. Thin body. This really doesn’t seem like a stout. Interesting, though. wetherel (1565), Encinitas, California, USA Oct 24, 2008 Very hoppy. Some roastiness. Leans Dry. I need to add some more words here.
