Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout

Opaque black, small light tan head. Some roastiness, with a mellow bittersweet chocolate tone in the aroma. Rich mellow roast malt flavors with tinges of cocoa. Some nuttiness in the finish. Mouthfeel is silky and medium bodied.

Bottle: Black, foamy beige head, very nice lacing.   Roasted malt nose, dry grainy/straw, very light cocoa.   Apple skin, cocoa, slight coffee, roasted malt, a bit astringent and sour on the tongue.   Moderate body and mouthfeel, not as full or thick as I would have thought.   Semi-sweet cocoa like finish, but with an odd astringent bitterness.   Decent, but just has a weird flavor about it that I cant pinpoint.   A bit too Oyster Stoutish maybe?   Something seems too fishy... stick with Loast Coast 8 Ball.

Black with nice sized tan/light brown head, which is mostly maintained. Aroma of chocolate. Tastes of roasted malt, oatmeal. Thin and slick mouthfeel. Not terribly complex but pretty good nonetheless.

Pours a deep dark brown boardering black with a medium tan head. Aroma of chocolate and sweet roasted malts. Heavy roasted malt taste with a sweet and creamy finish.

Pours a dark brown color with a nice creamy tan head. Aroma is of dark chocolate, milky, sweet roasted malts, and a slight alcohol scent. Flavor is sweet, milky, chocolately, almost like a chocolate milkshake with a dark chocolate bitter finish, slightlly dry. Overall, a very enjoyable beer.

Pure black color with thin fast fading chocolate brown head. Aroma is sweet, dark chocolate with a hint of coffee. Flavor: lightly sweet, some chocolate, nutty, lightly bitter, light dry finish. Light creamy palate.

bottled, jet black w/ a small brown head. aroma of roasted barley and chocolate. creamy mouthfeel, a solid oatmeal stout.

Black pour, huge tan head. Roasted malts, and bitter sweet milk chocolate, caramel for the sweetness, graininess from the oats and lightly hopped. Very drinkable and very easy going, but could have a little more body. This would be a good stout for a newbie.
