Oct 9, 2006 Updated: Jan 15, 2007Absolutely amazing stout, it won Gold at gabf 2006 and deserves it completely. Soft, full, rich, complex, creamy and ever so round body. Notes of Anise, cocoa, cream, vanilla, mocha, raisins and white pepper. Consider the bar raised for Oatmeal stouts. A GREAT stout from a GREAT guy.

Dec 14, 2006 Updated: Jan 17, 2007Ya know, I’m sure it’s hard work being great. Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Schooners Oatmeal Stout. Another awesome brew from Schooners. Pour is a deep dark viscuous liquid that has some ruby highlights. Insanely smooth and creamy feel while swirling around the mouth. Notes of cinnamon, vanilla, fresh coffee and chocolate. Incredibly well balanced, not too sweet but just right.

Jan 17, 2007 22oz Bottle from stoutlover72, big thanks for this one! Poured a dark black body with thin head. Roasted malt aroma with a slight coffee feel. First taste is sweet and slightly bitter. As I sip it it showed it’s unbelievable smooth character. This one was so smooth! Flavor is of coffee, Vanilla Bean, chocolate malt. Very nice aftertaste. Wish I could get a case of this. A damn good stout. Cheers!!!

Oct 26, 2006 Updated: Mar 5, 2007<b>GABF 2006:</b> Deep black color with a tan head. Lots of chocolate, smooth non burnt roasted malt, and even some fruitiness. Again roasted flavor with chocolate and some fruit. A relief from the typical total heavy roasted beer. Maybe I am not used to drink small sweet stouts. haha. The best part was the super smooth creamy mouthfeel. <br /><b>2005 Vitnage:</b>Drank this Feb 2007. Poured a clear very dark brown color with a small tan head. Chocolatey aroma with light smokey notes. Roasted coffee and semi-sweet. The flavor was more roasty than chocolatey or coffee. Mildly tart on the finish. Creamy dry bitter finish that lasts for a long time. Light to medium bodied.
