Southern Tier Oat

pitch dark pour with maliciously thick tan head. nose is dark chocolate and heavy roasted malt. mouthfeel is thick and as silky smooth as you can get. taste is bitter chocolate and roasted malts, sweet candy sugars and light smoke. the slight carbonation hides the relatively high alcohol flavor, but it’s definately there. an excellent oatmeal stout.

had a couple of times, last time with Stu ... Pours a black as charcoal .. . nice roastiness .. . nice tar sweetness, very big bitterness .. .way to easy to drink .. tasty stuff .. i want fajitas!

bottle shared at pops- what a heavenly beer. pours black with a little tan head. nose is one of the finest I’ve come into contact with, lush and fresh incredibly enticing and complex. Overtones of chocolate with a background of berries, hints of a hop backbone, and sweet desserts like brownies or chocolate cake. Taste was incredible. Chocolate up front, with a definite oat character. Molasses, caramel, bavarian chocolate cake, thick layers of everything that is good in life. Hop bitterness balances it to near perfection. Mouthfeel is absolutely perfect. Fluffy, yet sticky, goes down silky smooth. One of the finest beers I’ve yet come in contact with. Perfect cap to an evening of fine beers and pool with pops. Cheers!

~1.5 year old bottle. Pours dark brown/black with a small tan head. Aroma of heavy roasted malt, bitter notes, and light alcohol. Taste is really nice. Very malty, with some bitter chocolate malt notes, sweet caramel, light oat. Finish is lightly bitter. Mouth is really nice. The oat gives a nice full body. Just enough carbonation. Overall, a very solid brew. Would love to drink this more often; if only it were available in Georgia...

Pitch black with a one finger tan head. Aroma is nice roasted oat and malt with a hint of cinnamon. Flavor is almost exactly like cracker jack, especially on the finish. Not as strong an oat character as I was hoping for but it’s still there. Deeper you get the more the hops come out giving it an almost spicy taste. Fills the mouth completely and has a slight warming effect. Nice, but not as creamy or oaty as I was hoping for.

Pours a one finger tan head that fades slowly to a thin layer, leaving some lace. Black color, no highlights. Light carbonation and heavy bodied. Chocolate nose. Flavor is sweet chocolate, oats and some caramel. Smooth, hints of baker’s chocolate at finish. High ABV is hidden. $8.95 for a 22oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

Very nice brew. Pours black with fluffy tan head. Roasted oat and chocolate aroma. Very smooth drinking beer, slick on the tongue with warm roast and chocolate flavors. Little carbonation throughout. Would drink again!

BOTTLE: pours very dark, tan head. Aroma of roated malt, some chocolate, not overpowering. Mouthfeel is nice, heavy, silky smooth. Taste is roast, bittersweet chocolate, some carbonation, and just a little bit of alcohol/hop poking through. Great beer!
