look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.5

Had at the brewery in a 25oz mug... It was $6, I wasn't expecting much. Wow was I wrong.

A: Black with a thin tan head. Dissipates quickly and completely.

S: Slight coffee, with lots of roasted barley.

T: Like milk chocolate beer. That's the best way I can put it.

M: NAILED this. Smooth and pleasant, I could drink gallons of it.

O: This is the best beer we had at the brewery by far. One of my favorite stouts I've ever had and definitely my favorite oatmeal stout. Crazy good!

Serving type: on-tap

a: served in a shaker pint, the stout is pitch black in color, an initially full, dark mocha colored head settles to a coating layer

s: big nose of dark chocolate and a slew of heavy roasted flavor, smooth roasts that is - without any harsh edge, dark toffee sugars, smooth rich espresso, mild earthy hops, lots to grab on to here - great

m: the body is thick and creamy with a light-moderate level of carbonation, oats contribute well to the body

t: flavors lean heavily towards dark chocolate and deep, complex roasted character, rich caramelized toffee sugars provide a mid-palate sweetness, astringent espresso-char notes stay hidden until the finish, mildly hopped - just enough to balance and clean up the malts a bit, flavors linger long, delicious

o: something about the stouts from this area (Snake River Zonker being the other) - they're great, huge on complex roast flavors and nicely drinkable, deliciously sweet and chocolaty but still quite balanced, an easy score imo

Had at the local Old Chicago:
Poured from tap into pint glass very dark almost picth black with almost no head of foam.

The smell has some good roastiness to it followed by a chocolate nose.

The taste is mildly roasty with good grainy notes(I'm told this is an Oatmeal Stout) and some chocolate that, if the mentioned flavours were just a bit more on the stronger side, I'd call this quite the tasty American Stout. As is, it's still worth trying, evidenced by downing and enjoying a couple of pints..
