Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Anderson Valley Brewing Company
Style: Stout
Boonville, California USA

Nice dark stout. Sweet caramel taste, very rich and creamy. Goes down smooth!

Poured an extremely dark and rather thick looking black. A thin tan head appeared and disappeared just as quickly. The nose is sweet and malty. Hints of caramel and dark fruits. I found it soft and rich. Very smooth mouthfeel with a body a touch lighter than I would have expected. Woody/smokey notes dominate with hints of chocolate. A fairly long smokey finish rounds out a rather excellent desert beer.

very thick black body and a nice head that quickly collapses but has some legs. soft on the mouth. keep each swallow shows off another layer of this wonderful stuff. oatmeal stout for life, son.

12oz bottle. A well made oatmeal stout with sweet chocolate flavors coming through.

6-pack from Total WIne, River Edge, NJ...bottle pours black, tan head...smell of roasted malt, dark fruits, sweet chocolate...taste is much of the same...a bit too sweet for my taste.

Bottle. Pours a deep brown with a light tan head. Flavors are light prune, some toasted malt. Also a hint of a hop bitterness. Solid oatmeal stout.

Black w/ brownish red highlight, slightly transparent, brown thick non lasting top. Smells of dark choco, cherries, dark coffee, bananas, and smoke. Tastes of strong choco, coffee, roasted nuts, light bitter midpoint, long smokey conclusion. Long lasting taste. A good beer.
