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.

330ml bottle. Label says brewed and bottled at Lervig Aktiebryggeri, Norway. Opaque black color with a small bubbly tan head that dissipates quickly. Rich espresso-like roasted malt nose has hints of tobacco and burnt wood. Intense roasted malt flavor with more espresso coffee and charred wood. Silky and bitter with slight oat notes and minimal carbonation. As oatmeal stouts go, this is dry and bitter with big coffee flavor. Hops come in late in finish. This is special. Hard to find and pricy at $8.00 for a 330 ml bottle.

Keg at BD Sheps Bush, finally caught up on rating this, 27/08/14. Pitch black with a well appointed dirty tan covering that dissipates then retains as a smaller being. Nose is roast malt, light smoke, liqourice, spice, earthy cocoa rub, coffee, hoppy backnotes. Taste comprises chocolate, vanilla, toffee fudge, coffee, bitter roastings, bitter chocoalte sprinkle. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close laced with earthy hop bitterness and burnt roast. Solid stout.

Sampled on draft at Hou Thou this beer poured a very dark black color with a medium sized foamy brown head that left decent lacing. The aroma was bitter wood, smoke and brewed coffee. The flavor was bitter licorice, wood, perfume, rose water, violet, a bit of coffee and charcoal. Very long finish of perfume, violet and charcoal. Medium body. Pretty awful.

Bottle, best before 07-01-19. Appearance is pitch black, no light escaping at all, completely opaque. Half a finger light brown head which fades away to leave a foam around the edge. Aroma- chocolate, a bit fudgy, milk chocolate particularly, smooth coffee, and you can almost smell the oats. Hints of blackcurrant and liquorice, roasted malts. Smells rich. Taste- big roasted malts. Perfect balance between coffee and chocolate. Starts more milky then becomes bitter- espresso, hop bitterness. Excellent mouthfeel- quite full and clingy. A bit of body, and a lasting bitter finish. Delicious stuff.

Bottle, 0.33, shared with CanCrusher. Pours murky, almost black color with medium creamy brown head and good lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, white coffee and chocolate. Taste start with rich and heavily roasted sour malt, follows by strong coffee with well hidden alcohol and medium bitter finish. Full body, creamy texture and soft carbonation in palate. I am totally surprised as I can enjoy in beer made with coffee that I drink. And what is more, coffee beans were shitted by weird animal called civet :)

Dobre czarne z ciemno brazowa piana, niewielka ale jest. W zapachu kakao i czarna kawa. W smaku wytrawne palone i to mocno. Kawowe. Przypominalo Milk Stouta ale nie mialo wogole slodyczy, aczkolwiek slodowosc niewielka byla. Bogate tresciwe i zarazem lekkie i pijalne piwo. Nie tylko na sniadanie ale i do kolacji tez mozna polecac. Super alternatywa dla mocnej czarnej kawy, polecam nie tylko na sniadanie:)

Combination of oatmeal stout and coffee stout, Danish but with an American touch and brewed with lots of different malts and grains. Creamy beige, stable head, colour black with a faint wine-red hue only visible under bright light. Assertive aroma, obviously very malty, a bit smoky, black coffee and coffee beans, tobacco, cacao powder, cassis, dates, medium dry sherry, caramel. Soft and rounded mouthfeel, in which the oatmeal is a subtle presence rendering a silky touch; dark fruits, profound chocolatey maltiness, smoky accent, late roasted and peppery hoppy bitterness, mouth-filling. I would have left out the smoked malt, otherwise a very complex and well-balanced stout.

330 mml bottle tasted on 08/07/2014. Deep dark brown opaque colour with a medium beige head. Aroma is roasted and pour coffee. Taste is initially malty but afterwards is dominated by the black coffee and the roasted malts. Aftertaste is a little dry and medium bitter. Perfect carbonation for the style. Very well balanced beer. Next one please!
