Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout

Thanks to shigadayo for the trade on this one. Acrid smell with metallic nose. Pours black with little tan head. I taste the malt with a middle of coffee and finishes with a sweet taste. Not a bad beer to have on a cold winter night.

Deep black/brown pour with a small tan head that fades quickly. very slight aroma, what is there is malt, but still slight. Nice roasted malt flavor, highlights of bitterness through out. quick clean finish for a stout. not too shabby.

Bottled - Pour is black with no highlights.. and a brown head..Nose is roasted malts with grains and oats.. Flavor is malty up front with coffee and chocolate hints.. finishes with a moderate hop/roasty bitterness.. My first Anderson Valley.. nice.. i heard the Solstice is great!!

A pretty good attempt at an oatmeal stout but it falls short on my levels. Theres little malt flavor it’s missing something.

Black body, small tan head. Nose is of roasted malts and chocolate. Full bodied, sweet up front flavor with the roasted finish. Not bad.

12 OZ bottle via HOPSCOTcH (thanks!).Pours black with a small tan head. Nose is coffee, chocolate, lactose, oats and a bit of roastiness. Taste is mostly roasted chocolate and oats with some mild hops in the finish. Over carbonated. An ok oatmeal stout.

bottled. One of the stouts in blind tasting. Pours an opaque black with a thin off-white head. Aroma of coffee and smoke. Med-light body and light carbonation. Some roasty malt and coffee in the taste. Dry finish with a bit more coffee. OK, but hard to get excited about this one.

Bottle. Pours jet black with a light tan head. Smells a little sour and funky; possibly a bad bottle and I’ll definitely re-rate given the opportunity. Thin, watery body; not much happening there--light carb. A little foot and some sour funk on the palate as well; some subdued chocolate and roast are there. Dry finish; nearly vacant.
