On tap:
Beer pours a nice black, with off-white to tan head. The head collects thickly at the edges. There is a film that also stays on the surface for quite a while. Lacing is fairly significant. The nose is almost absent cold, and gains little as it warms. The ginger does eventually come through, and I do get a bit of oat. What I amusing is any roasted notes.

The taste comes through with the ginger up front. There is a light malt bitterness from darker malt. However it doesn't come through strongly enough. The oat presence is also noted lightly, and the ginger/oat/dark malt combo does yield a decent flavor, but not a great one. The body is medium-light, fairly smooth, but with perhaps a bit too much carbonation.

An okay beer that I'd grab again at the brewery if in the mood. A bit more black malt and oatmeal feel would help (the nose is less important to me in this case, but BA formulas are what they are).
