From the menu: "Smoked oatmeal stout."

Pours a very dark brown color with a single-finger of an off-white head and a bit of retention followed by a nice ring of lacing around the edges. The nose carries a bit of smoke as well as some nice roasted malt and chocolate notes. Hint of coffee in the background. The taste is not overly smoky, instead letting the base beer shine a bit with the smoke adding a nice complexity. Good roasty feel and body, drinking quite well at a fairly-low ABV and especially for a smoked beer.
