Out.Haus Coffee Oatmeal Stout

Taster pour at the source. Appearance is opaque black with thin ring of beige head and fair soapy lacing. Aroma is roasted malts--almost burnt--and the bitterness of the coffee. Taste is milky, roasted coffee bitter. Palate is full bodied with smooth texture, soft-to-average carbonation with finish as taste. Overall, the lactose and oats provide nice smoothness and a bit of sweetness but the bitterness of the coffee dominates, but pleasantly so.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a finger’s worth of white to off white foamy head that dissipated at a nice level pace. Ruddy messy lace.
The aroma has coffee grounds, light cocoa beans, somewhat of a cocoa butter, some toast and then a ruggedly sweet oatiness.
The flavor follows the aroma pretty much right on spot. The aftertaste seems to be pretty balanced between roasty coffee grounds and sweet oats. The same as in the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionabiltiy about it. Low carbonation yields a nice smoothness running all about.
Overall, sweet stout? weird, but this is way more balanced than your normal sweet stout. I’d have it again for me, but normal sweet stout lovers, your sweet tooth probably wouldn’t be fixed with this one, I say more of an English Stout.

Bottle from Craft Beer Cellar in Portsmouth, Nh. Green sticker that reads 2014 097, guessing this is a best before date. Aroma is really tempting. Oats, coffee with cream and light roast.

Body is chewy texture with some oats. The flavor is similar to the aroma just much milder. Hints of coffee bean, bakers chocolate and light caramel. Very thin body with some bitter coffee finish.

Pitch black, minimal head. Nose is sweet creamy and some yogurt. very coffee forward with espresso beans.Thin mouthfeel but slightly creamy. Bitter, astringent with sweetness and licorice. Cheap candies, coffee and smokey texture.
