Oily/Silky Mouthfeel

Ten FIDY hands down. The first time I ever reviewed it I described the mouthfeel as "drinking a glass of silk".

 

Beer Geek Brunch Weasel if you can afford it.

 

I agree. I associate an oily/slick feel with some IPA's. I associate silky with smooth creamy beers like Milk Stouts and Oatmeal Stouts.

 

The worst oily feel that I have perceived actually came from a highly-rated local porter, but I'm sure it can pop up in almost any style.

 

BA Speedway is the first that occurs to me. Although I second the Ten Fidy mention and the BCBS and FBS ones.

I'd throw Founder's Imperial Stout in this category too.

 

I agree with all of these mouthfeels and would add BCS...

That being said, none of them are sessionable unless you way 400lbs.

 

You can't have a mouthfeel thread without mentioning nitro. Left Hand Milk Stout and Old Chub NITRO come to mind.

 

Would you say it is a "greasy" mouthfeel due to the bacon?

 

I feel Founders Breakfast Stout has an excellent mouthfeel. It is very thick, rich, and creamy. BCBS felt a little more thin to me, but it had that amazing bourbon taste, so you can't hate that. Also most beers on Nitro would have an excellent creamy and smooth mouthfeel to it. Oatmeal stouts have a similar feel to me. One beer that's not mentioned often, but I was fortunate enough to experience was Burley Oak's Oatmeal Stout. I had this from the brewery near Ocean City, Maryland, and it surely didn't disappoint.

 

Along those lines, I might recommend Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout.

 

I would also like to point out mouthfeel can be interpreted differently at different temps, these Imperial Stouts everyone is mentioning are the most silky at their appropriate serving temp (around 55F)

 

Pretty much any stout from CCB.

 

Schlafly Coffee Stout and/or Oatmeal Stout

 

Oily: Prop 2013
Silky: (BA) BORIS

 

BCBS with a scoop of cool whip on top. That's drinking, my friend!

 

Hunahpu or MZ

 

isn't an oily feel the presence of diacetyl even if it does not have a taste you can discern? I also have trouble with oily.

Oh for stouts -plead the fifth. So silky.

 

No clue. Perhaps someone in the know will enlighten us.

 

That beer was absolutely fantastic, I had the pleasure of getting 2 of those from @toppoop and I was amazed at the flavor profile.
