On tap as part of a flight at the brewery. Appearance is opaque black with ruby highlights, no sparkle, cap of light brown head with decent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is earthy roasted malts. Taste is lightly sweet but strongly earthy, smoked roasted malts (slightly tart quality along with pretty strong bitter). Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, oatmeal stout should be thicker. Too earthy/smokey/roasted bitterness for my tastes (or the style) with added tartness not my favorite. Only Ok.
