Wow, took a long time to get this one entered into the database, originally drank at March Madness 2011. Dark brown pour, almost black, tan head, 1" deep. Aroma was tame, even the oak portion of it, but still had enough gusto to be a pleasant experience, definite oat impact as the beer was better described as smooth than roasty.
Alcohol unfortunately was a little more than I would have liked to have had put down. What was 8% was every bit there in the mouthfeel, despite the oak and oatmeal, although to be fair, its not the first time oak has seemingly brought out the alcohol (fusel?) more than covered it up. Sweetness tempered.
A decent beer, kind of standard for boulder beer company. At $7 a bomber, probably not something I'd have any more often than once every couple of years. Which isn't to say its bad, but there's lots of stouts out there.

From old, undated notes. Poured from the bottle.
Black liquid; slight purple hues when held to the light.
Big khaki head; thick lace.
Oats, cream & coffee in the nose.
Medium thick mouthfeel.
A chocolate-y stout; the oak flavor makes this a touch chalky but this is very drinkable.

Almost black pour here, very dark brown, full inch of tan head, looks good, solid retention. Aroma was mild oak smoothness and a little bit of roast. No dark fruit bitter notes, thankfully.
Boozy alcohol in this one, would think with oatmeal and oak that it would absorb a little bit of that heat, but pretty much it was all there. Some toffee like notes as well. The price is a little up there in the bomber format, it might be a decent pick up in the 12oz/6pack format, if the price per oz came down. Until then, not a repeat purchase. There's just far too many better oatmeal stouts out there.

Bottle dated 2/8/10, so a nice five years on it. The first thing that I really noticed was the thickness, this is medium bodied at best. It's a very dry stout with a lot of toasted malts, burnt chocolate, coffee, and a hint of oak that really struggles to distinguish itself between all of the roasted flavors. However it's got alot of good flavors so it wasn't a bad buy.
