If only smooth and creamy were the sole requirements for a good beer. Not that Nitro Oatmeal isn’t decent, but it’s surprisingly tame for a Founders stout, roasty but thin, with a slight cherry tartness undermining the wanted mocha richness. Opens up as it warms, with a soothing bitterness leveling off the finish, but the mild licorice-chocolate fade could use more heft. Might end up raising my score...depends in how merry this pint leaves me.

Keg at Cask Pub and Kitchen, Pimlico, London. A black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Roasty, malty, chocolate aroma. Tastes roasty, malty, chocolate, rather thin and watery, expected a lot more from Founders to be honest.

On tap at Vermont Tap House, Williston, VT.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a black color with a one and a half fingered off white to almond colored head with a nice slow dissipation. Light lace.
The aroma started off with sweet to roasty coffee bean to sly milk chocolate malts. Some toastiness slides in for a nice balance.
The flavor falls down on all of those previously mentioned aromas, and blends together the roast to the sweet, bringing about a warm bittersweet sharp aftertaste fully feeling it’s effects in the finish.
On the palate, light to medium bodied with a nice sessionability about it. Low carbonation helps milky glossiness creating superb creaminess.
Overall, what a damn nice oatmeal stout, so would have this again.

Draught @ Amsterdam. Aroma is chocolatey with some well roasted malt. Flavour has dark chocolate, rubbery tones and coffee. Some mild grapefruity hops in the finish. Good, although the rubbery tones disturb me a bit here.

Draught at Frederiksberg Ølbar. Pitch black with a stable, light tanned head. Sweet aroma with roasted notes, caramel malts, chocolate, coffee and toast. Taste is sweet roasted. Medium body with a creamy texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes slightly dry with roasted notes and chocolate, coffee and herbal hops. Nice Stout
