An aromatic blend of oats, chocolate and roast malts make up this classic English-Style Oatmeal Stout. A rich black over ruby hue and creamy tan head make our stout a memorable beer to behold.

Roasted malts clearly stand out in the nose. Flavor reveals dark chocolate, coffee, caramel, licorice. Hops stand behind the sweet malts, but are evident in a pleasantly bitter aftertaste. Body is thin to medium.

Bottle Pours a totally blck with a tall fluffy tan head, slowly settling to nice blocky lacing. Aromas are subtle, soft woody dark roast combo. A hint of coffee. Flavors are dark smokey and of paper or cardboard. Not unpleasant but simple and straightforward. That classic Oatmeal slick feel and smooth texture is present. Not particularly interesting but easy and tasty. Dare I say it?... a "session stout" Thanks again MrFacto

Bottled. I tried this two nights after rating Goose’s "Generic retail" Stockyard Oatmeal Stout. This is a little bit tastier, but still has a pretty bitter coffee roast to it. Pours a slightly lighter tan head, but it’s more foamy and persistent. Still missing the creamy oatmeal balance, and its a little less sweet than the Stockyard. Still, very drinkable, I found myself swigging down the last half of it.

2004 Draft @ Wrigleyville Brewpub. Good brownish-purple color with orange and tan hues. Decen mocha-beige head, mildly hazed. Aroma is light of sweet mocha late, some roasted bitterness. Body is only medium, but flavor is consistent and good. Lots of roast, not too sweet, with hints of chocolate, prunes, some vinousness even. Lightly bitter on the end, pleasingly so and very smoothly textured. Almost a session stout.

Black with a tan head. Aroma of burnt wood that is at first overpowering but relaxes as the beer warms. Some taste of coffee.

This is tolerable. If you're stuck with Guinness, Murphy's, or the like, this is at least a half degree superior. Here is the secret of Goose Island Oatmeal Stout: they take one of their other, lighter, beers, and add a "stout tablet" that provides stout flavor in a thin, watery beer. Brief roasted flavors dissolve into a thin, watery, semi-bitter aftertaste. Quaffable, but inferior to microbrewed stout. Goose Island is the next Anheuser-Busch.

Black with fast fading tan head. Pleasant lightly roasted nose and flavor. Too little body for a stout

Very impressive stout, if a little on the thin side for my tastes. Nice hints of chocolate and coffee. Dark chocolate color and minimal head.

Very smooth, and a bit on the sweet side. A good dose of hops in the flavor.
