On draught at the brewery.
A dark pour, a thin head and little lacing.
Very dry, light-medium bodied mouthfeel.
Pleasant roasted barley and coffee flavors, and bitterness.

Pours a dark black with a head that quickly recedes to the edge of the glass. Roasted aroma. Taste is roasted malt and oatmeal with a nice bitter finish to it. I thought the mouthfeel was a little thin but otherwise a solid oatmeal stout.
