Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout

Man, I think I might have gotten a bad bottle.... Generally speaking I tend to trust Breckenridge beers, but this had some really funky vegetable aromas and flavors. These of course did not mix well with the other flavors of Oatmeal, chocolate, and nuts. The beer looks fantastic in the glass with a big tan head and tons of lace. But something just was not quite right here.

Bottle, pours a black beer with thin no head. Aroma is roasty and the flavor is roast, choco, coffee and oatmeal. A little bitter, not bad. kinda weak

dark pour - limited aroma - flavor was a bit bland for me. Not a bad taste, it just dind’t bring enough for me.

Dark pour pour with a khaki head. Coffee and roast on the nose. Thin bodied. Flavor is espresso

Pours very dark brown with a medium brown head. Flavor is chocolate and espresso with a slightly bitter finish.

Poured black with a nice khaki head.The nose was roasty, oats and grain.Flavor of coffee, chocolate and some bitter sweetness.Had a slight bite to it with a bitter coffee finish.

Bottle. Initially, this smells very similar to two very other notable stouts (one an oatmeal): Big Eddy and BORIS the Crusher - a sweet but dark concoction of chocolate, coffee, deep cream and spices. The spices melt away in the flavor, however, and what remains can be called, dry, dark, watery, and imbalanced at the end. But I have had worse...

I purchased this as part of my pick six at my local shop. This pours an opaque dark brown, with a light brown head. The aroma is very roasty, and a bit nutty, very different, but I like it. The flavor definitely follows suit, with roasted coffee notes, as well as hints of dark chocolate. A classic stout with wonderful roasty notes. Cheers!
