I am guessing at the beer, as I had this at beer festival where the beer was not named, but was an oatmeal stout, BBA at 9%. Given this info, debate if this is the correct beer, but I'm guessing a younger brewery isn't doing too much different in their oatmeal stout line:
Beer poured a nice very dark brown, with a fair amount of tan head that lasted well into the pour. Every sip agitated the beer enough to bring back a quickly fading surface head. The nose was bourbon and oatmeal, a bit beady or biscuit-like, which is nice, and bourbon. There is a bit of woodiness, but the roasted malt notes, while present, take too much of a back seat.
Flavor mostly follows the nose, heavier on the wood (mostly) and bourbon. The flavors combine with the carbonation to form a bit of a cola taste. The feel is, not surprising from a younger brewery, a tad weak in body and depth. The flavors are there, but they need to meld and integrate a bit better. There is a nice woody drying feel at the end.
Easily this beer has some potential. It is decent as is, but if it can build upon its strengths, and grow into its style, could be a really good beer (also presumes the "brewed once" moniker is wrong).
