COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
British brewers attempting to create a 'nutritious' beverage began to add oatmeal to the grist, and eureka!..out came a stunning oatmeal stout. Our version is very full bodied with an almost silky feel. This is a semi-sweet stout that is balanced with the coffee roastiness at the finish.

I had this beer a while back and from what I can remember I enjoyed it. I’ve had this at the pub/brewery so it was fresh. Nothing special about it is popping into my head at the moment.

Growler sampled at Sexual Chocolate Day 2010. Heavy, opaque black with a clumpy, beige head. Heavy coffee aroma, nuts, lacto-sugar, dark chocolate. Flavor is very sweet from the lacto-sugars, caramel, cookie dough. Smooth and full bodied.

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 09/10/2008 Roast aroma. Black slightly rich on the palate and hoppy with some bitterness in a dry burnt roast finish.

Dogbrick (4829) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - AUG 13, 2009
Sample at the Downtown location. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black with a thin tan head that diminishes quickly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Dark chocolate and coffee in the nose. Medium, glassy smooth body with flavors of roasted coffee, semi-sweet chocolate and sweet malt. The finish is roasty with a short mild coffee aftertaste. Above average overall. Pretty sure Capitol City’s Blackout existed before Great Lakes’, but I doubt anyone will ever think of this one first when they hear the name.

thenick (766) - North Bellmore, New York, USA - NOV 14, 2007
Tap @ Capitol Hill location. Pours black with a thin and quickly dissipating head. Aroma is roasted malt, and the taste is roughly the same. It finishes up with a chocolate bitterness and a bit of an oily texture. Not bad, but not extraordinary.
