Commercial Description:
This is a full bodied oat stout. Whole malted oats are used for 10% of the grain bill. Roasted barley from the United Kingdom and chocolate malt make up 10% and the rest is two row barley. The whole oats leave behind a slightly nutty flavor. The coffee and chocolate flavors come from the roast and the chocolate malts.

Pours black with aroma of coffee and chocolate. Taste is roughly the same, just more subdued. Nice.

Darker’n a black steer’s tookus on a moonless prairie night. There was no bottom. Maybe an inch or so of soft and foamy brown head. Pretty good ringlets of lace. Moderately sweet chocolate malt and some roasted grain in the aroma. Flavors come through with lightly roasted grain (not harsh or overly bitter), a touch of sweet chocolate, and a medium-roast coffee. Nice blend of flavors, they seemed a perfect match for the smooth texture. Nothing overpowering, gently carbonated, medium bodied. Mellow, tasty, and satisfying.

Woooo, ol GW does it again. Had a couple of thesse last night. Nice malty flavor, great smell of coffee and coco, nice and thick and smooth, big foamy head too. Coupled with the fact that these were only 1.80 a pint during happy hour adds up to great things!
