Try it, but if you really want an oatmeal stout that’s hearty, robust and solid go with Blue Point or Sam Smith. This is a half assed version that’s okay to be fair, but probably not what you’re looking for.

12 oz bottle courtesy of the girlfriends brother. He has been going through a sweeter stout phase lately. Pours a very dark brown pour, pretty clear, with a sizable brown cocoa head that dissipates a bit and laces to an extent. Aromas are oatmeal sweetness, coffee, and maybe a touch of chocolate. Taste starts sweet: no dominant malt character. Oatmeal sweetness coupled with some coffee and dark chocolate. Bitter coffee finish, moderate to thicker body. Ok, too sweet for me though.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Dark brown/black with lasting ring and lace. Roasty coffee chocolate aroma. Roasted coffee chocolate with dark fruit mild woodsy smoke and medium underlying bitterness. Mild oat tang. Medium body and carbo. Nicely complex. A pleasure to drink. Much better than expected.

12 oz bottle, really enjoyed this one. Pours a dark brown/black color with some light passing through. Little to no head. Aroma is very nice of roasted coffee and malt- pretty typical of a good sweet stout. Flavor was outstanding as it was not as sweet as i had expected- very agreeable with kind of a dry bite to it and very noticable maltiness. Palate was smooth going down and the flavor hangs around in your mouth for a while. Pleasant surprise to say the least.

This one starts out great. Blackish pour, dark white head. Nice aroma of roasted malt, coffee and slight mocha. Tastes similarly, nice oaty stout, but has a bit bitter finish. Some is nice coffee bitter, but some is from the brew turning sour. Not a bad finish though. I want to say this is from the beer starting to go south, had this experience with some orgainic and farmhouse breweries. Weeping radish in NC is another that has had these problems.
