Commercial Description:
“brewed for the harvest” This beer begins in spring when oat seeds are sown as soon as the soil can be worked. Meanwhile, select types of barley are planted with hopes that Mother Nature will be kind. Our brewers wait patiently until the legumes are mature and ready for the scythe. Upon delivery to the brewery, these ingredients are mixed together in the mash tun where they steep, creating a rich molasses-like liquid. Spicy hops are boiled with the thick brew, giving balance and complexity. Brewers yeast feasts upon the rich sugars, concluding its transformation into oatmeal stout. Pour Oat into a snifter, allow its thick tan head to slowly rise, releasing unbridled aromas. The color of Oat is as dark as a moonless night. The first sip reveals Oat’s thick and nourishing taste. Like a haversack to a horse, a bottle of this stout is a meal in itself. Enjoy responsibly. 11.0% abv • 238º L

The Piece de Resistance of the UFC 97 random beer tasting with Mspindler... W/O Hophead22.. Thanks Mike.. Pours black with a 1 finger mocha head.. Smells of chocolate and dark fruits, sweet smelling... Taste is semi-sweet with that dark chocolate bitterness...Palate is smooth and thick like an RIS should be. I like it... I like it alot!!

Bottle 22 oz - Poured coffee black with small tan head. Aroma - liquid smoke, chocolate frosting, dark fruits and molasses. Flavor - Rich and creamy chocolate with this perfect blend of roasted coffee...Damn this is good!!! Palate - silky smooth heavy mouthfeel with little carbonation. Finish has a great roasted smokey flavor and aftertaste is the same. Overall - One of the best IS I’ve had, easy to drink and alcohol is barely detectable.

Bottle pours a tan head with a dark brown body. Smells of smoke, yeast, caramel, and chocolate. Tastes like milk chocolate, alcohol, and more! Smoke, chocolate cake, and sticky finish.

0.65l Fall 07 - Pitch black with a small dark brown head. Little carbonation. Nose is campfire roasted marshmallows. Creamy embrace yielding to a long hop finish. Solid, perhaps a little sweet for the style.

Pours Black with small tan head . The nose is strong in Chocolate. Comes across the palate as a bitter sweet chocolate, oats and a hint of caramel. Very smooth mouthfeel, excellent brew.

Favorite of Southern Tier. Poured black with a tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, and caramel. A roasted malt flavor with some coffee. Finished with a sweet chocolate.

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.
