<b>9/27/2007</b>: Southern Tier Oat does not disappoint! It has a perfect appearance (thick pour, near black color, opaque, dark brown head). The aroma has dark, deep, rich chocolate and roasted malt/char along with undertones of sweet candy and coffee. The flavor is ladden with caramelized malt, sweet citrus candy, a touch of licorice, and some alcohol. The alcohol is like a barrel-aged flavor and it goes right down! The finish is kinds of dry. This full-bodied beer is thick, syrupy, and heavy and coats the entire mouth. When warmer, this beer becomes super creamy and lots of creamy oat flavor is evident. More alcohol comes out and it also becomes sticky and chewy. Overall this beer is quite sweet for an Oatmeal Stout, but awesome nonetheless!

Nov 21, 2008 I must say this is one of the only southern tier beers I truly enjoy. It has a great round presence, full of oatmeal flavor, roasted malts, semi-sweetened chocolate, and cocao. I must say this beer is too drinkable, considering the 11% ABV...I guess that’s not a bad thing.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle, tasted as part of an Imperial Stout tasting(ended up 4th of 4) Pours dark brown/black with a very thin head that did not last. Light coffee nose, dark cherry and some sweet/dark malts. Taste is sharp and bitter with an expresso bittering finish. Mouth is creamy and full of pig flavors with a light alcohol burn. Not as thick as other RIS but still solid and delicious.

Nov 19, 2008 22oz bottle poured into glass. Pitch black color with a tannish orange head which dissipated to the edge of the glass. Aroma of caramel malts with a hint of chocolate or molasses. Fairly sweet in flavor which is surprising for a beer this dark, oaty aftertaste. Very rich and full on the palate. Little rough on the palate when compared side by side with Stone Russian Imperial Stout. Overall a really good sipping beer from Southern Tier.

Nov 19, 2008 On draught at Barley’s Smokehouse. The beer pours a deep black color with a medium thick dark tan head that recedes slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate malt, espresso and hops. Rich, smooth body with flavors of cocoa, coffee and roasted malt, along with some moderately bitter hops. Oats are subtle throughout. The finish is roasty with a mocha aftertaste. Solid all around.
