Draught: McKenzie’s Brew House, Glenn Mills PA. Very dark brown colour. Head is about half an inch with good amount of lacing. Mouthfeel is heavy but loose, a little watery. The strong oaky, roasted coffee taste with some chocolate and a hint of anise seems to add a little weight. Medium-high alcohol content. This beer seems more suited to drink after a meal than with it due to its strong coffee flavor.

On tap at Devon. Mostly opaque black with moderate foamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, licorice, oatmeal. A little bit sweet, low bitterness. Medium bodied, mostly smooth. Pairs well with food, but leaves a little to be desired on its own.

On tap as Oatmeal Stout. Pours a dark brown with thin light tan head. Nose is light with notes of roasted malts and tangy sweet anise. Light notes of oatmeal, roasted malts underneath, tons of boozy anise almost jager like. Light body, soft on the palate, strong carbonation, prickly finish.

On tap at McKenzie, the third stop on our RBSG bus trip. Pours a clear ruby tinged brown with a thin beige ehad. Sweet oatmeal, roast and char. Malt and roast. A touch sweet, oatmeal sweetness. Roast, toast, sweet malt and chocolate. Nicely balanced.

This poured a darker brown color with a beige head. Aroma was light bakers chocolate, medium roasted malts> flavor was a bit more roasted than expected for an oatmeal stout, very smooth and drinkable though.

Brown black pour with tan head and lace. Aroma of toasted malt and light chocolate. Toasted malt, light chocolate, very light coffee, and a good malt bitter. Medium bodied but a tad fizzy for me.

Tap at McKenzie for RBSG 2011. Pours a clear black ruby with a small, tan head. Scant lace. Looks pretty dark. Nose is light coffee and toast but fairly muted. Taste is sweet with tart acid mash and oatmeal grain. Overall fairly tart and prickly. Soapy and oily dichotomy in the finish. Intredasting.

Draft. Pours deep brown with a beige head. Roasted malty aroma with light coffee and a light sweetness. The flavor has a roasty base with a hint of sweetness and light coffee notes. Nice.

From tap as Oatmeal Stout. Pours dark brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is roasted and dark malty, slight dark breadish. Smooth malty, slight liqourice and dark breadish. Dry and rather hoppy. Roasted and dark malty into the finish. Lingering dark malty.

Draught at Brew Pub as "Oatmeal Stout". Pours black. Tan head. Nose/taste of pear skin, oatmeal, grainy chocolate and light sourness. Dryish finish. Off.

Pours coca-cola brown with a thin brown head. Not a ton of aroma. Taste has some burnt notes that come off like licorice. Has some silliness but the finish is watery.
