The Blackwater Imperial Stout Series is full of delicious dessert beers, with one exception: Oat, our Imperial Oatmeal Stout. Pouring black as night, with a mocha colored head, big dark flavors of molasses and bitter malts conspire to hide the high alcohol content.

Brewed with 2-row pale malt, oats, caramel malt, barley flakes, chocolate malt, black malt, Columbus and Willamette hops, this beer is chock-full of what a real imperial stout should be brewed with. We’re brewing it expressly for the turning seasons. It’s a great beer to kick back with on a cool fall evening, or cellar some away for when the snow starts to fly.

One would expect a special brew like this from an established brewer would be outstanding, and one would not be disappointed.

It pours black and not very fizzy. The aroma is a warning for the hugely complex taste. The taste is a symphony full of malty harmony and boozy dissonance. It really isn't overly strong tasting (even though it is quite strong).

Highly recommended. I am going to enjoy the rest of this and see about getting more.

Deep brown in color with a fingernail of beige around the rim. The aroma is of sweet bourbon, vanilla, and oatmeal. The taste is a bit boozy with bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, and oatmeal. The mouth is sticky, chewy, and dry.
