090510-on tap-pours a retaining big light brown head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-licorice/chocolate. As it warms, molasses. Taste is dark malt-molasses/chocolate/ashy, creamy/oat, some earthy hops. Interesting for style/occasional, although not my style. 3.4 *090510-Peoples Pint Oatmeal Stout–on cask-pours a tan ring for a head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-bolder than tap and alcohol and earthier. 090514-22oz bottle-pours a rich light brown head and black color. Aroma is very sweet clashing with earthy, rubbery, chocolate/molasses/ashy-dark malt, acidic. As it warms it doesn’t clash. Taste is ashy/coffee-dark malt, acidic/earthy/bitter hops, some alcohol, powdery/gritty mouth feel. Based on having at cellar temperature. 3.1

22oz bottle. Black in color with brown edges and a larger sized off white head. Older bottle, so if I have the chance, I will revisit. Slight infection with a tart finish. Not a drain pour tartness, and a little enjoyable, but would like to try this fresh (someone send me a bottle).

Bottle. Dark black beer with a thin tan head. Aroma is quite sour. Unpleasantly metallic with a touch of sour coffee in the background. The flavour is also sour with a bit of chalky charry flavour. Utterly undrinkable.

Pours a mostly opaque with a thin, spotty-lacing dark tan head. Aroma has perhaps the most diacetyl I’ve ever smelled in a beer or in a bag or microwave popcorn along with some mild roasty chocolate notes. Body is coated with slick oily diacetyl and some milk chocolate with a touch of sweetness, just dripping in popcorn butter. Just do a diacetyl rest and this beer would probably be pretty good, but right now, it’s damn near undrinkable.

hands-down their best beer, worth stopping in for. A low ABV and one of three good casks on that night. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Very dark brown, with a delightful bubbly mocha head, lace. Roomish temperature, it would have been interesting to have it a bit colder and then go through a flavour range. Tastes of chocolate and licorice along with mouthfeel of oatmeal. Sourish finish.

UPDATED: MAY 25, 2009 My Bottom Line:
This healthy Oatmeal Stout provides ample coffee atop the roasted caramel, building an effortlessly drinkable, although perhaps sweet example.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam protects the blackness.
-Dark chocolate also accompanies the coffee roastiness.
-The body is healthy on tap, but I admit the bottle was a little thinner than was to be expected from the full and creamy nose.
-Carbonation is comfortable and serves the flavor profile adequately.
-The tap version gave me a blast of caramel sweetness in the nose.

From the bottle (3.5) and from the tap (3.1).

Draught sample at the brewpub. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells of nuts and chocolatey. Tastes peppery with some roasted malt and sweet caramel on the finish.

bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, black colored pour with light foam, aroma of Elmers glue and chocolate, a sour flavor of chocolate and berry
