Harken back to a time that was enjoyed slowly and be transported to the calmness that is ever present at the namesake CT state park. Bigelow Hollow is made with flaked oats that provide a pillowy cloud-like mouthfeel, with sun-kissed chocolate malt, and a wisp of vanilla on the nose. Relax and enjoy all that is Bigelow Hollow.

4 oz draft at the brewery. Brown in color, zero head. Aroma shows mild oats, weak chocolate. The flavor would indicate it is lighter then 5.3%. It shows almost zero malt backbone. Thin would be a compliment. This has oats? Wish it would taste more like it smelled. This needs a lot of work.

Pours pitch black with no head, some light brown lacing at the sides of the glass., almost no carbonation. Aroma of licorice, rich cocoa. Taste has rich chocolate, some coffee beans, fully-bodied and flavorful, some dark fruit that accents the prior flavors wonderfully, vanilla. Not oily or bitter in the slightest. Palate has some sweet licorice notes that linger on the nose, clean body on the tongue. Some faint hops and carbonation dance on the tongue. Absolutely fantastic.
