Nimbus Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Nimbus Brewing Company
Style: Sweet Stout
Tucson, Arizona USA

12 oz bottle. Poured into a pint glass with an oily black color and small tan head. Nose of roasted malts and mild nuts. Mouthfeel is thin and watery. Wow this stuff is light. Initial taste is vinous, soy sauce, mollasses and roasted malts become apparent. Mid palate of red fruits and mild cocoa. Finishing roasted and mild hop balance. Palate duration is good despite the watery mouthfeel. Roasted malt leaves a good impression. Mildly dry. Good head retention. Too light for me but not bad.

12oz bottle came as an extra in my trade with Shyam. Thanks! Pours a opaque black with a bubbly cola tan head with an overall watery consistency. Aroma of roasted malts, nuts, crackers, and sugar. Flavor is very similar, roasted malts and nuts obviously, but also very sweet and sugary. Reminded me of eating a dark chocolate cookie. Finish is dry and sweet. A definite session beer, maybe a little pedestrian, but enjoyable.

Pours a black/brown color with a GORGEOUS light brown head. Smells of woody chocolate with maybe a lightly roasted oatmeal scent. Same flavors, but with a slightly oily taste. Vinegar, maybe? Almost tastes like a cross between a stout and a salad. Tastes a little smokey too, maybe? Taste starts to disappoint after a while. Still, unique, and a beautiful beer!

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of FlacoAlto. Pours black and opaque with a creamy, light brown head. Lighly burned malt aroma with a vanilla whiff. The body is fairly light with burned malt accents that also leave a solid malt bitterness. Decent. 290308

The Fonefan/Brugmansia Cnudde tasting. Courtesy of Papsoe. Black/brown with a small head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and citrussy hops. The flavour has notes of coffee, licorice and the finish is bitter and dry. I miss a bit of sweetness, the smooth and the round body, that I expect in an oat, the hops are a bit too dominating IMO. OK, sure, but just not one I’ll drink again.

Pours deep and dark brown as an Oatmeal Stout should. Head was a little quick to disapate but no biggie. Nose was rich and malty with subtle hints of hops. Flavor is very roasted malt with nice touches of chocolate and creamyness. Very pleasing mouthfeel and nice finish where the ekg hops add a great balance. This is a very stand-up stout, will drink this one again.

Dark brown to black colour with a disappearing light brown head. Roasted fruity aroma ith some hops. Intense dry roast flavour with a burnt finish.
