Rich, round and roasted, our Oatmeal Stout is satisfaction in a glass. It's a bold, smooth-bodied concoction that oozes dark-roasted coffee aromas and flavors of espresso and semi-sweet chocolate. We round out these heady pleasures with a dose of flaked oatmeal for a creamy body and a semi-dry finish. Unforgettable.

Draft. Small brown and frothy head atop a black body. Malty aroma of roast and dark chocolate with some notes of caramel. The flavor is moderately bitter and only slightly sweet. It finishes acidic to the point of metallic. Medium body and thin texture, but the carbonation is fairly lively. Drinkable, but uninspired.

12 oz brown bottle for $1.50 from Vintage Estates. Very little aroma, probably due to my slightly stuffy nose. The pour is exceptionally black and dark. Has an orangey tinge around the edges. Taste is a bit bitter, it has that burned feeling on the back of your throat. Except for the bitterness, kinda smooth. Cannot taste much if any chocolate in there and the black coffee roastiness is quite overwhelming. Should this be a mild impy stout? Comes across like one. I think Weyerbacher’s Old Heathen is less oppressive than this. Does not live up to the sweet stout impression that I got from Mackeson’s xxx. However, much better than Bell’s Cherry Stout.

Color is nice and dark, head is soapy and looks like root beer. Aroma is very chocolatey but not very complex. Flavor is watery at first, then gives way to burnt malt, chocolate and finally oatmeal. I thought the overwhelming flavor was chocolate, rather than coffee... maybe an espresso aftertaste that develops well after tasting. This has some pretty good flavors, but really lacks a solid structure a good body and a palate that comes together. Dissappointing for a stout and for Breckenridge.

Pitch black coloured body with a medium sized brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, pit fruit and a tiny bit of anise. Medium-bodied; Chewy feel with oatmeal very noticeable. Caramel follows shortly after and some pit fruits noticeable also. Overall, a good beer - well done and worth trying. Thanks to Andy for giving me this bottle. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle pulled from a Breckenridge Sampler Pack on 01-April-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Sampled at MrFacto’s ’Tosa tasting, courtesy 1FastSTi. Dark brownish body with red highlights, thin/medium cream head. Aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, and touches of brown sugar and caramel. Toasty body with chocolate and brown sugar, quite light, with hints of diacetyl. Thin-bodied. Eh...

(draught) Jet black; dark brown good head. Notes of coffee in the nose and oatmeal detectable, some burnt malts. Taste: impression of writing ink - weird. Quite bitter for an oatmeal, many roasted and burnt notes. Oatmeal seems to make it more bodied than it really is. I keep getting a thinnish texture in the end. Somehow the beer is OK in itself, but I think it is not quite up to style.
