Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout

There is a definite chocolate- and milk- feel & taste about this beer. Small, light-brown frothy head with excellent lacing (although it was a short-lived head). The body has a brown, murky appearance to it. Starts & ends with a moderately sweet flavor. Has an oily texture on the tongue, which leads to a metallic finish.

Nice deep dark body with a tan head. Aromas of coffee/chocolate/cheerios. Light chocolate flavors with coffee and oats.

A truly spectacular Oatmeal Stout. Very mid-range in terms of not being overly dark. Would suggest it’s a good taster for someone new to the ’dark’ side of beers and the world of stouts.

The beer pours to a dark black body with a creamy khaki head. Spotty lacing. The aroma is a lightly tart oatmeal and molasses. Chocolate. The palate is lacking for an oatmeal. Medium bodied with a light tartness. Decent.

black pour nice oatmeal looking tan head good lace. Light coffee & roasted malt aroma.. not much else there. ok palate decent coating. Dry light bitter hop some coccoa touch of coffee.. ok.

Dark brown with a creamy tan head. Smell had roasted chocolate, courant, soy, espresso and oatmeal. Taste was smooth but a bit watery at times. Solid session beer.

Something of a disappointment for me, being a fan of AV. It tasted too much like their other beers instead of tasting like a stout.
