Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout

Bottle. Aroma-chocolatey. Appearance-black as night, big head at first that disappears quickly. And I’m talking after the second sip. Flavor-It’s better to say what it doesn’t have: no creamy body, no sweetness, no flaked oatmeal to be discerned. This was watery and heavy chocolate and not up to sweet stout standards. More like a cheap porter with the over-hopped American style.

This beer started out with an aroma and taste very strong coffee like with the alcohol coming thru. Other thing that was rememberable was the lace. However didn’t finish strong.

i couldn’t put my finger on what the hell the taste reminded me of.......then it hit me like a brick-SMOKED OYSTERS.freaky.really freaky,man.

Bottle. Surprised the brewer says it has a creamy body--I though it was pretty dry. Pours black. Rocky, tan head. Medium body. Above average--just not an all-star.

Black, as in only the faintest brown highlights show when held directly to a 100 watt bulb. Thick creamy brown head. Coffee and cocoa aromas. Black roasted malt, burnt sugars, dark caramel and some dark chocolate. Silky smooth and coating.

Bottle poured black with light head and lacing. Aroma and flavor is roasty malts, chocolate and coffee. Thin body with a taste of metal on the finish.

Great color, but overall less than impressive. Opens with a malty, coffee flavor that gives way to a semi-bitter aftertaste.

Pours almost black w/ a medium semi creamy froth that stick to the walls leaving snail tracks the way down. Nice thick lacing w/ a full dusty canopy. Aromas of mildly roasted malts and a pinch of charcoal. Full nectar w/ velvety residual effers. Nice! Moderately roasted, thick and creamy, fantastic. No sweetness at all. Bold cocoa, raosted coffee bean, molases. I love this stuff. Theres a defined bittering on the finish w/ a perfect souring component. Perfect balance. The bitter cocoa really lingers on the finish. Highly recommended.
