Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout
From the 22 oz. bomber. Sampled on August 25, 2011. It pours a rich cherry-brown to black with a silky, gentle tan head that dissolves to a ring but not completely. The aromas are an enticing mix of chocolate, oatmeal, and Northwestern hops. The body surprised me as it came in a little lighter than medium weight. The taste had a nice, mellow chocolate malt character with a dashing dose of hops to carry it to the end. Great aroma, great taste, but a weaker body than I anticipated.
