Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout

Draft at the brewpub. A dark brown beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma is buttery combined with notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of butter and roasted malt as well as a light note of oatmeal. The body is thin.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Black, beige head. Mild coffee aroma, Mid-dry, soothingly roasty espresso with cream atop but no sugar. Medium bodied with well rounded mouthfeel. Slight salty bitterness. Harmonious and well balanced.

Bottle at Stockholm Beer and Whisky 2009. Pitch black coloured with a medium sized beige head. Sweet and roasted aroma of coffee, nuts, dried fruits and oat. Roasted flavour of dark chocolate and liquorice. Roasted finish.

Dark brown to black color. The aroma is light, coffeish. Medium body, with a flavor based on carmel and roasted malt, but quite well mixed. Pleasant Stout.

Big beige head atop a red-clack body. Aroma is medium sweet, roasty, coffee, some chocolate. Taste is mild sweet, roasty coffee, some chocolate, finishes coffee bitter. Some hops in there as balance. Medium body, somewhat creamy. Not very sweet for a sweet stout.

Sampler at the Breckenridge Brewery 2220 Blake Street, Denver 08/10/2008 Roast aroma. Small beige head. Black fruity and smooth on the palate with a crisp and dry chocolaty roast finish.

A Sim rate (on tap at the Flyng Saucer Houston): Nice sweet aroma of oatmeal and dark chocolate. I just wish it was stronger. Opaque appearance with amazing lace. Bitter, bitter chocolate flavour. Bitter finish, but in a fascinating appealing way. Thick and oatmealy palate. Really enjoyed this one.
