Strong Oatmeal Stout
Gritty McDuff's Brewing Company

Reviewed from my notes. Served at the Portland brewpub on St. Patrick's day. The beer is an opaque black color and the nitrogen gives it a great creamy foam head. It has a nice roasted malt aroma. The flavor is of roasted malt--it almost feels burnt, but not quite. There is some coffee bitterness that lingers and a tiny bit of sweetness that disappears as I swallow. This is a good, solid stout. It has a medium body--it isn't too thick, but it is creamy. there isn't too much carbonation. This is very drinkable for the style. It goes down nicely. The bitterness may make it hard to have a few rounds, but on its own, it's smooth, creamy and delicious.
