Dark black color with a sweet oatmeal aroma. This was a great Oatmeal Stout. The color and flavor was perfect. I loved this beer. A great mix of malts with coffee and chocolate flavors. Good Stuff….
Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Sep 24, 2006 8 oz draft at the brewpub: Dark-headed. Very similar to their porter with a java bite, but this is smokier ... but I preferred the porter. BBB63 (3767), La Porte, Indiana, USA Oct 9, 2005 GABF 2005: Nealy opaque with a good tan head. The aroma has notes of chocolate, apple, prune, coffee, burnt and smoky, grassy hops, grainy. Quite the inviting nose! The taste starts with smooth mocha and earthy quality leading to a big hoppy and coffee bitter finish. A bit of prune and acidic nature detected as well. The feel is oily but a bit thin. Pretty good stout despite not detecting much oatmeal.
