An unfiltered Brown Oatmeal Porter gently hopped with Liberty and a boost of brown sugar makes this strong and malty dark ale smooth.

I had a sample of this beer at the pub and knew a growler must come home with me.
Poured into a tulip glass slightly chilled. The beer exhibits ruby highlights with a fluffy beige head of 4 cm that fades slowly to a sturdy edge layer, leaving tight lattice on sides of the glass.
Aroma is generally sweet with some chocolate and general malt sweetness and a little doughy yeast as well. First sip reveals average body with silky smooth texture and very soft mild carbonation. Flavor is sweet malt with chocolate and some brown sugar again some yeast flavors/byproducts give a little tangy flavor. No ABV or hops are evident. Very easy drinker and VERY good beer. I enjoyed every drop of the growler.

Enjoyed on tap at the brewpub.

Shaker pint glass presentation. Arrived with a 1/2" dark brown head that lasted well, plenty of sticky lacing, over an opaque dark brown brew. Aroma was rich dark malt. Taste started with the same deep dark grains, with moderate bitterness, and a lightly chalky close. Mouthfeel was oh-so smooth, and drinkability was amazing, yes, this one too. Would have again definitely.

Had this one at WBC yesterday.

Pours with a good 1" head which dissipated to mostly spot lacing. Very dark, almost black. Some coffee and malt in aroma. Taste was very much on the malt end, with some hop bite in the finish. I was impressed by the balance and the mouthfeel. The latter definitely due to the use of oats. A nice sessionable porter.
