The addition of flaked oats add a “smooth” texture to this big black ale. Lots of chocolate roasty flavors tightened up by an abundance of Pacific Northwest hops.

On tap at the pub. On nitro tap, to be more precise, which was a bit of a bummer because we couldn't get a growler of it.
Pours deep, dark ruby, nearly opaque with a chocolate-brown head.
Smells quite smooth, and surprisingly sweet and lactic for the style. Vey nice and rounded.
Tastes thick. It feels thick, too, but mostly it tastes thick. Bereft of the pleasant roughness I usually expect in an oatmeal stout, the result is a wonderful balance of bitter barley and rich milk chocolate. The balance is exquisite.
