Bottle into tulip glass. Sometime in 2004. Smells like a musty doilie, and yet not totally bad. Black in the glass with a small head that dissipates mostly, shows lacing with small tight bubbles. Oatmeal is very evident in the flavor and the grainy texture. There might actually be oatmeal floating in here. This is perhaps the oatmeal stout that is truest to the name in my experience. For some reason, this beer reminds me of Iowa. I like Iowa better, though.

Pour out of 12 oz bottle is dark brownish pretty much black, some slight brownish edges but really opaque with a fairly thin leading to almost no tan head. Aroma brings notes of chocolate, espresso, lactose notes, hints of oat in there with a slight vanilla and caramel note in there as well. Taste is nice with roasted espresso, dark chocolate and booze soaked caramel, hints of oat filling out the body a bit more but it is slightly thin, hints of toast, roasted malt finish this out fairly bitter, surprising for a sweet stout. Nice carb to push it through the palate, and overall a very nice and easy drinking stout that is also very tasty.

Very balanced oatmeal stout set apart by some nice residual malt sweetness and a subtle hint of ’Christmas’ spices. I like this more than regular Lefthand Milk, but would be a push if the nitro LH was available (this is a good compliment).

bottle... light black body with a medium tan head, two finger cap stays for awhile... nice subtle but balanced know, roasty coffee at first but has a nice creamy body, definite oatmeal notes, as it warms the sweetness takes over losing the balance... the taste is mostly sweet, milky chocolate with a creamy finish, wish there was some coffee or roast here, finish is a bit weak, watery and flavorless... solidish oatmeal, small recommendation
