Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout

Bottle. A bark black color body with a thin soapy tan head , short lasting , with some spotty lacing left behind . Aroma is lightly sweet , with some nice roasty coffee and coco notes . Flavor is very roasty , lots of coffee , and bitter sweet chocolate , most of the mild bitterness here seems to come from the coffee , with just a light amount of sweetness , dry toasty finish .Full body with a smooth creamy mouthfeel , quite sessionable .

12oz bottle 8/10/09 (Davidson’s Liquor-Littleton)-Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, and sweetness. Taste is chocolate, coffee, and oats. This full bodied brew is one if not the best beers Breckenridge makes. Nice brew.

On Tap at Shallo’s. Pours dark black, with minimal quickly fading head. Nose is smooth, sweet oats and sugary chocolate. Taste is roasted oats, dark chocolate and smooth dark malt. Very good for the style, nothing too spectacular. Worth trying, if you see it.

Second beer tasted of Oatmeal Stout Saturday Night (following Goose Island, followed by Southern Tier). Translucent black under a perfect cap of big-bubbled, condensing milk-chocolate head. Light coffee, sweet dark chocolate, and medium-roasted malt smells fill the nose with a nice aroma. Taste matches some of the flavors, but the quiet oat aroma belays hides a surprising amount of oaty flavor. Chocolate follows with a bit of smoke, and light-roast coffee and malt take a back seat rounding out the flavor profile. Initially very sweet, ranges through to a dry finish. Light carbonation and a nice medium body make this a very drinkable stout.

(bottle). Black color. Medium tan head. Malty aroma with light oatmeal. Light coffee, oatmeal, and alcohol flavors. Long duration. Smooth finish. Thin texture. Soft carbonation. Fair lacing.

Reviewed 7/5/2009 (bottle): Pours a very dark brown color body, tan colored head, creamy, lastingish. Roasty aroma coffee and dark chocolate. Creamy mouthfeel, roasted and chocolately, milk chocolate. Warming. Bitter as it warms up. Not too shabby, creamy.

mmmmtasty! So I’m not exactly the avid stout drinker.. however, this is a pretty tasty beverage! It poured a nice dark brown black color with a pretty tan/caramel head that was a decent thickness. Aroma was sweet, chocolaty, and not too much coffee in my opinion. It tastes great! Very balanced, a bit bitter, but sweet at the same time. I really enjoy how balanced this beer is.
