Recognizable as their oatmeal stout but softened a bit by some time in the cask. The beer was served not at cellar but warm room temperature; it works for this beer. Black and thick foam. Roasted malt, and lots of oak in the flavor. Actually oak is the dominant flavor. Just a hint of tannins, and only there because I was looking for some kind of wine quality. Very light port as well. Full bodied, but lacks the complexity I expected. Very smooth out of the cask, easy to drink. I wonder if the casks are worn out?
