Pours bright black with a negligible head. Roast and coffee aromas. Coffee and chocolate on the palate with nutty notes. The body a little thin for the style, drinkable, a touch of sweet.

A - Poured out an opaque, jet black color with a two-finger, light brown head of soft foam. It had long retention and left some thin trails of lace on the glass.
S - It smelled of oatmeal and mild floral notes.
T - It tasted of oats with some sweet chocolate flavors. Light toffee and caramel flavors with just enough bitterness.
M - It was crisp and smooth. A light bodied ale with a dry finish.
O - This is a nice oatmeal stout. Another solid and tasty brew at Great Waters Brewing.

Served in a pint glass a solid black with a creamy cask foam cap.
Some roasty and nutty notes with a touch of sweetness.
The taste offers up a very drinkable mix of roasted malt with some back notes of nuts and sweetness. Very, very drinkable and enjoyable taste.
Well, it's cask and GW does a great job. Creamy, velvety and smooth. High end of a medium body here.
A very solid oatmeal stout offering and the perfect choice for a cask beer. This one does not disappoint and offers exceptional drinkability.

A: Black with a frothy white head.
S: Mild chocolate, bready and very sweet smelling.
T: Very yeasty/bready with easily distinguished oat flavor. Malt starts out showing mild roast, but quickly transitions to cocoa. Very sweet with light fruitiness. Nice progression of flavors finishes with a touch of bitterness. Definitely the “breadiest” flavored stout I can remember having.
M: Light, yet sticky body with soft carbonation. Delicate but not overly thin.
Always nice to have a good oatmeal stout on cask and this one is worth having a couple.
