8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEGDT. I don't know what the difference is between this and the regular Oat Porter, but 'Malted' is what they're calling it here.
This beer appears a very dark, red-brick brown colour, with one average finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy tan head, which leaves some cannonball splash aftermath lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of bready and slightly roasted caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa powder, some muddled dark orchard fruitiness, mild cafe-au-lait notes, ethereal black licorice, and very tame earthy and musty hop bitters. The taste is grainy and doughy caramel malt, some free-range ashiness, medium dark chocolate, day-old coffee, expired cream, and some ethereal earthy, weedy, and musty hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite understated in its wan-seeming frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, the oat influence obviously coming through in spades. It finishes off-dry, the roastiness keeping down any lingering sugary aspirations.
Overall, this is an enjoyable and engaging version of the style, with the oats helping out as only they can. Again, I don't know why you need to call a Porter, of all things, 'malted', but there you have it.
