Bottle schlepped back from CA by my brother, thanks Mike!
Pours a solid black color with a huge creamy tan head that persists forever. Aromas of chocolate and roast with some creamed coffee and molasses in there as well as some toasty raw graininess. I'm not finding very much barrel influence in the aroma. The flavor is sweet and rich with lots of chocolate and caramel. More creamed coffee and hints of dark fruits with some molasses or treacle and solid hits of earthy hops and alcohol. There's a faint bit of oxidation in there as well. Medium to thick body with a moderate level of carbonation and a creamy slick mouthfeel. This is a decent beer, but its big in abv and it shows. It would be nice to see what some age would do to this beer.

From 22 oz bomber, wax-sealed, to snifter.
12% oatmeal stout? I understand this was brewed with oatmeal, but this should be categorized as an American Imperial Stout.
A: Jet black as expected, the beer forms a pretty frothy head given the size of the beer.
S: Chocolatey, toasty nose but surprisingly subdued. Creamy, sweet bouquet, very little noticeable alcohol.
T/M: Chocolate and anise upfront. Stodgy, chewy complexion, lightly carbonated. Super smooth and creamy, alcohol is incredibly masked. Some notes of vanilla, coffee and oak pop up throughout the sip. Singular on the palate...not very layered or complex, but highly quaffable.
This might not be the most memorable BA Stout, but wins big points for drinkability. Has to be one of the least boozy 10+% brew I've had.
