Desultory oatmeal-flaked dark ale fails to properly integrate. Dessicated grain-roasted dark chocolate malting picks up blunt lactose souring as raw cocoa nibs chalking, dry Baker’s chocolate astringency and musty vanilla bean snip get foiled by acrid hop char.
Unsustainable coffee roast entry, wispy dark-roasted chocolate nuttiness and fudgy cocoa snip washed-out by phenol carbolic fizz. Mildly creamed mocha froth gets soapy above wary oats-sugared spine. Inconsequential obsidian-hued brown-watered oatmeal stout.
Coarse oats-flaked charred hop bittering, oily coffee souring and ashen nuttiness scour chalky dark chocolate theme. Ancillary brown-sugared espresso, molasses, cocoa nibs and raisin illusions fade quickly.
On tap at Blue Point, oats-flaked toasting and smoked chocolate malting contrast hop-charred coffee roast. Molassses-glazed walnut-hazelnut-almond conflux and sour black cherry undertones fill out mocha-dried medium body. Just a tad soft stylistically.
Rapturous ‘hoppy oatmeal stout’ with pronounced dark-roasted coffee bittering above oats-roasted black chocolate and vanilla illusions. Dark rye breaded bottom secures dry hop charred mocha theme. More bitter than sweet.
Extremely ambitious full-bodied Oatmeal Stout brings creamy dark chocolate, fresh-roasted Sumatra-Kona coffee and oats-charred hops to the fore. Resounding mocha vibe enriched by fudgy vanilla, toffee, caramel and maple licks. Ashen chicory sops up tertiary Brazil nut, walnut, hazelnut and cola nut slack. An immensely complex and luxurious treasure not just for breakfast.
Approachable medium-bodied sweet milk stout retains mildly creamed lactic chocolate resonance over oats-roasted hop toasting and fizzy carbolic aridity. Fudgy burnt caramel spell underscores ancillary black cherry, raisin and fig hints.
Reputable sienna-headed mahogany-toned full body with dry coffee-oiled entry picks up Blackstrap molasses bittering over toasted oats backbone. Peat-y compost waft never sullies walnut-charred peanut shelling or dark chocolate undertones. Tertiary bourbon, vanilla, espresso, cola nut, black cherry, and ashen tobacco illusions barely touch the surface as heavy black coffee density overrides rich mocha finish.
Robust lactose-aided jet-black winter seasonal competes favorably against best full-bodied oatmeal stouts marketed year-round. Creamy molasses-sapped black chocolate roast and wood-charred hop-oiled black coffee bittering saturate sharp hazelnut, walnut, and Brazil nut toasting to setback earthen peat grouting. Tertiary vanilla bean, raisin, black cherry, and anise illusions jut in and out.
Enduring roasted coffee theme embitters hop-charred oats and chocolate-roasted grains. Dry powdered cocoa, dark chocolate, black cherry, and fig undertones counter acrid tar accrual at smoky mocha-malted finish of robust full body. Serve as a wintry nightcap.
