    I know they changed the label, but did they also change the recipe recently?

    There seems to be way more raisins, cherries and figs than I remember. Like they added special B malt and a Belgian yeast strain or something.

    Its like expecting a Great Divide Yeti and getting a Great Divide Belgian Yeti instead.

    Great beer and was unaware of the label change and potential recipe change....doesn't sound like I am going to be a fan of this new direction. Bummer....was one of my favorite oatmeal stouts.

    Greetings! Rest assured we have NOT changed the recipe for Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout and we're still heading in the same direction we always have--making world-class steinbers!

    Great! Maybe it was the bbq sauce I had when I paired it with beef ribs. haha. I guess I was wrong, but I just remembering it being more similar to Samuel Smiths and I don't remember that much raisins and cherry flavor in it.

    Its still one of the best west coast stouts in my opinion.
