davedog (1), USA does not count Feb 9, 2006 Oatmeal stouts never impressed me but the wolavers seemed to finish allot smoother. Yet the body was not so full to fill you up Pinnhead (93), New Jersey, USA Jan 28, 2006 among my favorites in terms of oatmeal stout. at the softer end of the spectrum of its class. it’s a little soft almost like a porter but stands on it’s own. Not so heavy a beer which permits sucking back a few. vulcanmeister (50), La Grande, Oregon, USA Mar 25, 2006 Modest, frothy tan head with a dark, rusty brown body. Creamy aroma of chocolate, hazelnuts and light roast. Abundant roast and char in the flavor, slightly grainy with burnt husky notes, and obvious hops. Fairly dry for an oatmeal stout with a medium bitter finish. Lightly starchy texture. A fair stout. raymow (735), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 8, 2004 A very good stout. Great color, aroma and flavor. One of the best stouts that I’ve had in a while. Pigfoot (2224), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Jun 29, 2006 Muddy brown, utterly opaque, under a thick, gooey, cocoa tan head. Nice looking, indeed!
Nose burst with cocoa, rich and powdery at once, with bittersweet espresso hints at the side. Very nice. I’ll drink it in as often as I can...ahhh!!!
Tastin’ it...big chocolate all over the mouth, thick presence on the palate, powerfully rich and damnably delicious. A humdinger, this one. Dry cocoa feel persists and remains strong on the palate, leaving the dusky husky flavor all over the mouth. Quite an impact!
Full bodied, to say the least, with a long, bittersweet, lightly hoppy, abundantly malty finish.
I really like this one. Makes an impact, and imparts deliciousness. Can’t beat that!
