Our Oatmeal Porter incorporates the smooth creaminess of organic rolled oats with mysterious dark chocolate and coffee undertones. A little creative hopping leaves a balanced beer that’s not your traditional porter. This porter was our original winter seasonal, but an angry mob of cult followers threatened us when we proposed to stop brewing it. For our safety and your pleasure, the Oatmeal Porter is now offered year-round.

Deep super dark brown coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of roasted oats, some caramel, a touch of anise and licorice and a heavy molasses and pure sugar scent at the end. Medium-bodied; Assertive oats and roasted malt flavour with some caramelised sugars, a dose of hazlenuts and pure earthiness along with a grainy finish. Aftertaste shows more of the oats than anything else with some grain, a heavy hand of caramelised sugars and a robust spicey note with anise and a touch of fennel. Overall, a relatively pungent and deeply flavoured beer with a big malt presence with the oatmeal and some other grain a nice spicey character, but a pungent sweetness in a good way that shows a lot of depth. Another nice beer from this brewery and I've only had two before! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Omaha, Nebraska a few hours ago on 06-February-2018 for US$1,99 sampled a few hours later in my hotel room here in Omaha, Nebraska on 06-February-2018.

Taster at the source. Almosr black pour with tan head. Aroma is mild chocolate, weak nuts, mild roasted grains.

Flavor is chocolate, roasted nuts, then earth, coffee, mild roasted grain. Light to medium body, a medium body. The texture is dry and almost chalky finish. Overall, not to shabby.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours fairly crystal clear very dark reddish brown color with a 1-2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar. toasted oats, and dark bread; with light nuttiness, toffee, herbal, smoke, and roast/toasted earthiness. damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toasted oats, and dark bread; with light nuttiness, toffee, herbal, pepper, smoke, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy hop and roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar. toasted oats, dark bread, light nuttiness/smoke, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great roasted bitter/sweet balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/roast bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/silky, and lightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is a very nice American porter! All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. Really great well rounded malt complexity, with nice hop balance. Spot on style example. A very enjoyable offering.
