Wild Goose Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Wild Goose LLC (Flying Dog)
Style: Sweet Stout
Frederick, Maryland USA

Nutty slightly roasty aromas. Pours brown, dark amber in the light. Very light on the palate. Sweet malts with vanilla, very very light stout. Not much of a stout, i’d say its a desent brown ale.

Appearance: Pours a clearish, dark brown body with a small, fizzy, off-white head. Smell: Somewhat light aroma with mild notes of dark malts, oats, and sweetened cocoa. Taste: Sweet, dark maltiness with a touch of roast and oats. Light tastes of chocolate and caramel. The beer is without much hoppiness beyond a light, vaguely spicy bitterness. Sweetish finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A fairly tasty, relatively light sweet stout.

12 ounce bottle- pours out a slightly transparent chestnut brown with a weak tan head. The aroma is chocolate and toasted malt. Taste is a surprisingly strong chocolate with a bitter coffee finish. A little weak on the palate for a stout, almost but not quite watered down. Enjoyable, above average.

Slight aroma of green apples and some whiffs of chemical. Dark red, mahogany color. Chunky off-white head with Lingering lace like cottage cheese. Watery, but not harshly over-carbonated body. Smooth but thin. Roasted dry malt flavors and a dry, hopped finish.

Chocolate aroma with some coffee, dark brown, ruby at the sides, small toffee head. Taste is a pleasing malt and mocha. Medium bodied, bitter, good mouth feel. Very nice. Thanks mds.

Pours a lighter brown from the bottle. Nice concave mocha head. Body is Light to Medium and mellow and sweet. A light crisp toastiness ends the whole thing out. I expected a bit more in the body and the mouthfeel was a skoash watery. Two of these snuck up on me, it could have been the firepace too. Either way this rainy day was passed well with both. Thanks to my wife for bringing a mess of Wild Goose products back from her training in Frederick. What a woman.

A pleasant surprise from a brewer I’ve not had much experience with. Pours to a dark brown, with a thick tan head that lingers through mid-glass and leaves okay. Aroma is a malty mix of chocolate, caramel, roasted nuts, and I actually did detect oatmeal. Surprisingly, though only 5.9% abv, the scent of alcohol was also present, especially as the beer warmed. Mouthfeel is full and slightly sweet, with a tinge of hoppy bitterness at the end, and the flavor picks up the flavors found in the nose. This rounds off to a long, smooth, slightly warming finish. Not a bad beer at all.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin rim of brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, alcohol and oatmeal.
