Best Oatmeal Stout in Kansas

Draft. Yum! Loved it, coffee-mocha notes, creamy, didn't order another for meal - would be better on it's own or different dinner selection (had salmon burger).

 

 

Pours black with a finger of khaki head. Aroma is roasty, toasty malts with a kiss of lactose. There is a little chocolatey backend, but not much. Flavor profile brings out the chocolate more, with earthy, roasty and toasty malts forming the bulk of the flavor. Mouth feel is medium-thick with a lightly fuzzy, but more so, velvety texture. Overall, focused with no frills. It's a solid oatmeal stout.

B- / WORTHY

On tap. Poured a jet black color with a one-finger, tan head of long lasting foam. It smelled of oats, coffee and roasted malts. Roasty with a coffee bite. Some nice toffee and chocolate flavors, too.

Appearance: A hard pour from the growler reveals a modest bubble show that creates an inch of tan foam - I know this would have been more impressive at the brewery; the liquid is coffee colored with tawny highlights at the edge

Smell: Caramel and chocolate

Taste: Caramel and chocolate, with vanilla building and a hint of dark fruit; some earthy hop bitterness in the back end and, perhaps, a little coffee in the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation; rather creamy

Overall: A very nice oatmeal stout, with rich flavor and a very nice mouthfeel

Thanks, SDDLSK, for the opportunity

Poured from a growler dated 1/8/16; into a pint glass.
Appearance - very dark, but not completely black, almost like a cup of coffee with milk. Thin tan head that leaves scattered lacing along the back of the glass.
Smell - subtle chocolate milk and mild coffee notes.
Taste - this reminds me of a glass of chocolate milk blended with a roasted, malty stout; there's hints of vanilla after it sits.
Feel - medium body; creamy and silky; easy drinker!
Overall - very tasty, smooth, creamy, well crafted stout!

 

Rich oat and coffee roast aroma. Flavor is roasty and oaty, with a coffee bitter finish. They really nail the oat presence, and the roast is nicely done.
