Midnight Oatmeal Stout

22 ounce bottle into snifter; no bottle dating, but was released to bottles recently. Pours pitch black color with a 1-2 finger dense tan head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, molasses, toffee, vanilla, toasted oats, dark bread, light nuttiness/coffee, light plum/fig, and herbal/roasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great complexity and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, vanilla/cocoa nib spice, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, molasses, toffee, vanilla, toasted oats, dark bread, light nuttiness/coffee, light plum/fig, and herbal/roasted earthiness. Light herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, molasses, toffee, vanilla, toasted oats, dark bread, and herbal/roasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, vanilla/cocoa nib spice, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with great balanced roasted bittersweet finish and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very smooth, creamy, silky, and lightly bready/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is well hidden with only a light warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is an excellent oatmeal stout style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, vanilla/cocoa nib spice, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
