Old Goat's Oatmeal Stout
Hand pump beer engine served in an imperial pint glass. A: Heavy 2 finger khaki, foamy head. Dark reddish brown and some light penetrating. Doesn't look like a heavy beer at all. Great head retention and huge lacing. S: A good amount of sweetness and roasty scents. Picking up a little chocolate with a lot of bread and brown sugar. T: Sweet! This definitely caught me off guard as many oatmeal stouts are more on the dry side. This was full of sugary goodness. It tasted almost like a bowl of oatmeal that you loaded up with brown sugar. Definitely added some flavor to an otherwise watery stout style. There were some light coffee and chocolate notes as well, and finished pretty dry. M: Average for the style and cask. Velvety with minimal carbonation. O: An above average oatmeal stout that I would probably drink again.
