This English Stout is medium-bodied, black in color with a roasted malt aroma and flavor, but a silky smooth character. The oatmeal in this recipe and the nitrogen pour give this beer a round creamy mouthfeel.

On tap at Iron Hill in Rehoboth Beach.
Ebony color look. British tan cap that endures, no lacing. Opaque.
Roasted and toasted malts along with semi-sweet chocolate aromas.
Flavors are sugar, chocolate, malt, and a little bit of vanilla oats.
Light bodied, sweet and bitter blend. Some oats chew.
A mix and match blend , there are malts and oats yet still light. Nice aroma.

Very thin tan head on a jet black body. Aroma Consists of Roasted malts, wood notes and earthy hops. Flavor is mosty roasted malts with notes of oats, milk chocolate and maybe a hint of banana. Medium to full body and moderate carbonation. Not a very exciting stouts. Needs to have more complexity and stronger flavors to be memorable but as oatmeal stouts go it is pretty good.

Had at Brewers by the Bay.
A: The beer is black with a small tan colored head on top. Not much retention leaving a thin cap on top.
S: Nice roasty malt, faint dark chocolate, coffee, and some oats. Slightly sweet.
T: Similar to the aroma with a combination of roasted malt, slightly charred, with some chocolate, oat, and a little coffee/mocha flavor.
M: Medium bodied and smooth, moderate carbonation. Slightly sweet finish.
O: A nice oatmeal stout, drank surprisingly well despite the heat at the outdoor event.

Very well done oatmeal stout, on tap at Iron Hill Media. Near black color, minimal head, retention or lacing. So-so appearance, but better aroma, nicely roasty, with hints of coffee and cream. Flavor delivers pleasingly, good roastiness, again, coffee, cream, milk sugars, light sweetness balancing out the bitter roast aspect. Hints of bittersweet chocolate as well.
Medium-thin bodied with moderate carbonation, feels right for the style, easy drinking, creamy and smooth.
On tap at Iron Hill Media.

On-tap, arrives with no head. Attempts to revive it fail and there's no lacing. Body is black.
Smells good, with a nice mocha, roasted coffee nose with a bit of milk chocolate. Taste is similar, with a slight bitterness coming at the finish from a dash of pine hops and roast bitterness.
Medium body, fairly low carbonation. Very smooth across the palate, but becomes watery by the time it goes down. It doesn't have that rich mouthfeel I expect from the style.
Tastes and smells good overall, but the mouthfeel is definitely lacking. Perhaps a little more carbonation would beef it up a bit and remain creamy smooth the whole time, and accentuate a little more in the finish.
