Commercial Description:
Oak-aged oatmeal stout as dark in color as deep space. Again Obovoid on oak adds earthy character to the roasted notes and bittersweet chocolate finish derived from the black and chocolate malts.

Sampled on draft. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma od chocolate, roast, coffee, and oak. The flavor is sweet, chocolate, roast, coffee, and oak. Decent body, was missing maybe a little more of a hoppy presence.

Darker brown pour with a slightly oaky aroma that mixes with chocolate, and roasty malts. Flavor is a bit chocolatey and roasty with a kind of one demensional oak profile. Smooth, but weaker feel. Not bad, but I was hoping for more.
