Commercial Description:
“brewed for the harvest” This beer begins in spring when oat seeds are sown as soon as the soil can be worked. Meanwhile, select types of barley are planted with hopes that Mother Nature will be kind. Our brewers wait patiently until the legumes are mature and ready for the scythe. Upon delivery to the brewery, these ingredients are mixed together in the mash tun where they steep, creating a rich molasses-like liquid. Spicy hops are boiled with the thick brew, giving balance and complexity. Brewers yeast feasts upon the rich sugars, concluding its transformation into oatmeal stout. Pour Oat into a snifter, allow its thick tan head to slowly rise, releasing unbridled aromas. The color of Oat is as dark as a moonless night. The first sip reveals Oat’s thick and nourishing taste. Like a haversack to a horse, a bottle of this stout is a meal in itself. Enjoy responsibly. 11.0% abv • 238º L

2008 bomber... poured into a snifter glass. pours a light black from the bottle and settles an average black with a decent size tan head. strong licorice and sweet sugar aromas. medium body which transforms the palate from ordinary to sublime. there is a burst of citrus hops and licorice up front, followed by a very smooth chocolate / coffee undertone on the base of the mouth. there is a true feeling of strength both in alcohol and flavor throughout... it really grabs hold of your tongue and doesn’t let go.... on the finish the stinging bitterness comes through with more sweetness and a burst of alcohol. it’s almost like a candi sugar coated stack of chocolate coffee cake with some hops loaded on top. yummy.

A pretty good oatmeal stout. Very dark color. Full bodied stout with a nice oatmeal, thick malt, and some sweet caramel or chocolate flavors as well. Bot the most complex you’ll find, but one worth trying.

2009 Bottle - Thanks skinnyguy and BrewCzar! - Pours a medium consistency, deep, dark brown, with a small tan head...aroma is dark cocoa and coffee malt, toasted grain...flavour is charred wood right off the back, black and bitter, roast and a little smoke...grainy, but just incredibly bitter up front, it mellows a bit and the malt come up as it warms, but damn...finish is a lingering charred bitterness...nice alcohol that isn’t too noticable...
