Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, many say, and if you are a beer geek there is no better way to start the day than with a powerful, complex morning stout.
This is the beer that started it all for Mikkeller. Oatmeal Stout brewed with coffee and seven different kind of malt (Pils, Oat, Smoked, Caramunich, Brown, Pale Chocolate, Chocolate), roasted barley, oat flakes, hops (Centennial, Cascade), American ale yeast and gourmet coffee. Aroma is a combination of malts, caramel, chocolate and coffee. The body is medium with light coffee and chocolate flavors with a creamy texture, average carbonation and a bitter edge on the finish. A beer that goes extremely well with breakfast.

330 ml bottle into snifter, bottled on 9/7/2015. Pours nearly pitch black color with a 1 finger dense and fluffy tan head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toasted oats, dark bread, light nuttiness, herbal, pine, light smoke/char, and roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of roast/bready malt, coffee, and earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toasted oats, dark bread, light nuttiness, herbal, pine, light smoke/char, and roasted/toasted earthiness. Moderate pine and roast/char bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, toasted oats, dark bread, light nuttiness, smoke, char, herbal, pine, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malt, coffee, and earthy hop flavors; with a great roasted bitter/sweet balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from hop/roast bitterness as well. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, and sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent American styled oatmeal stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malt, coffee, and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

33cl bottle sampled several months ago (review from memory) - heavy on the coffee, roasted malts and a bit of dark chocolate. A bit more light-bodied than I would have preferred, but otherwise an excellent brew.

Pours a deep black color, topped with a medium sized brown cream head, fairly lasting. Aroma is very easy to pick up, some nice chocolate notes with coffee dominating over them, though not too intrusive. Taste is gently sweet, some chocolate notes up front, gentle coffee feel and some bitterness in the finish. Very gentle but lasting roasted coffee aftertaste. Creamy and smooth, full taste but has that light feel to it. Very lovely, superbly drinkable.

Bottle pour into tulip glass from Redstone’s Liquors, Stoneham, MA. Aroma is chocolatey and coffee, roasted malts. Appearance is opaque black with persistent light brown ring of head with mild lacing. Taste is moderate sweet chocolate with moderate coffee bitterness that dominates second half. Palate is light bodied with thin texture and dry bitter coffee finish. Overall, very good but dominated a bit more by bitter than I like and a little thin.

Bottle. Inky black with small foamy tan head, mocha aroma, sweetish starting taste followed by coffee bitterness, full body, long bitter coffee finish with alcohol undertones. Thick bodied and robust.
