Captain Bastard's Oatmeal Stout
12oz bottle thanks to BigJTrucker Pours black with barely a tan head that fades immediately. No real lacing to speak of. Aroma is fantastic. Rich roasted malt smell with deep espresso and strong dark chocolate notes. Smells very rich and robust. Taste falls short of the promise made by the smell. Roasty upfront with a mildly bitter coffee taste and very subdued cocoa flavor. Tastes nice, but not nearly as rich and complex as anticipated. Thin body, low carbonation. Well, the aroma really had me excited but it turned out to be a rather mediocre beer overall. Easy enough to drink, but not interesting enough to make me wish I had more.
