Cooledge Oatmeal Stout

It poured a very dark mahogany color with a lumpy creamy light tan two inch head. The head lasted about a good two minutes. There was quite a bit of foamy lacing as the beer went down. The body was pitch black. The smell was mostly malty with some notes of chocolate and coffee. The taste is the same as the smell with the coffee and the chocolate. However, it seems the chocolate is a bit more subdued. The palate is medium with a moderate carbonation. Overall, this is a good stout that I would probably have again.

On draft at Flynn’s. Poured a milky black with a tan head into the tulip glass. Aroma is of bready black malts with a nice roasted nut background. Delicious and so easy, so smooth.

On Draft @ the Great Lost Bear. Pours dark brown to black with huge, frothy white head. Produced lots of lacing down the glass. The aroma is strong coffee with some light bitter chocolate. The flavor is more of the same with coffee, chocolate a good amount of roasted malts. You also get the oatmeal taste which gives it a thicker, smooth mouthfeel. I have a good feeling this is one of Geary’s better brews.
