UPDATED: MAY 12, 2021 12 ounce bottle. Nearly opaque black brown color. Large pillowy tan head. Subtle roasted malt aroma. Ditto on the flavor. Soft notes of dark roasted malt with hints of coffee and chocolate. Creamy mouthfeel from the oats. Lightly tangy in the finish. Tasty.

UPDATED: JAN 31, 2021 Free State Oatmeal Stout has a thin, cola-like, white head, a very dark brown appearance, with ruby highlights, as the light strikes it, and no lacing. The aroma is muted, but one detects dark bread crust. The taste is the same, with low bitterness. F.S. Oatmeal Stout has a low-medium body and a dry finish. RJT

UPDATED: DEC 15, 2019 Malty slightly roasted aroma. Flat black with a light tan head. Tastes rich with a metallic aftertaste. Decent.

Initial taste is mildly sweet with lots of roasted coffee flavors. Aftertaste is roasted malt and pleasantly bitter. Medium palate with good carbonation. Good stuff but nothing outstanding.

UPDATED: MAY 7, 2018 Pours cola brown, sweet aroma but rather tasteless body, oatmeal does coast your tongue, bottle.

12 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium creamy tan head that retains well and laces the glass.

The aroma is sweet roasted oats and chocolate malt.

The flavor is sweet roasted malt and some black licorice and fruit with an ashy bitter finish. The mouthfeel is rather thin and watery and nitro like.

Overall, a nice oatmeal stout. I remember liking this more last time I had it.

Drank right from the bottle; big thanks, moody. Has a big dark presentation. Could be a sweet stout but it tries to get into the more bitter stout or even looking at impy stout with its 6% and all shit. Yes, big and almost bold, but never quite gitz-thar. Goes down pretty easy, somewhat bitter burnt damp wet fire wood that was put out a couple of days ago, just not quire charcoal. Even has some attributes of baltic porter. Gets better as the session continues thru the middle but becomes a tad medicinal in the end.
