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

Served from a can into a pint glass at Sawmill Tap Room on 4/28/12.

A - dark black; giant brown, dense, thick head; great retention

S - rich roasted malts, faint coffee

T - coffee, roasted malts, faintly bitter, a bit creamy

M - medium to full bodied, smooth, little if any carbonation

This is a great beer. It has good body, good flavor, and great drinkability. It's definitely worth checking out.

Enjoyed this 12oz bottle out of a craft beer glass.

A: Pours a dark black hue with a thick, brown, 3-finger head that slowly dissipates, leaving a great trail, and solid persistent lace.

S: Roasted malt aroma with hints of coffee and chocolate.

T: Creamy smooth roasted malt flavor with a slight sweet toasted flavor. Some coffee and chocolate notes.

M: Medium body and medium carbonation.

O: Impressive oatmeal stout – top notch.

3.66/5 rDev -10.5%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75

A: Pours fairly dark with a tall thick head, just the way it should be.

S: No overwhelming aromas, some darker malts and a hint of alcohol from the thick head.

T: Starts creamy and transitions quickly into chocolate and coffee malt flavors. Minimal esters but the variety of dark malts provide plenty of flavor.

M: This is one of the keys to an oatmeal stout and Barney Flats delivers. Creamy but not thick, the slight dryness leaves you wanting more.

O: This style varies widely and the Anderson Valley offering is a good beer. Great for a cold winter night, enough alcohol to stay warm and a nice creamy finish from the first sip to the last.

Serving type: on-tap

look: 4.25 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Deep black color with lots of thick caramel head with good retention.
Grainy aroma with hints of dark chocolate and roasted malts.
Pleasant flavor of roasted malts and lots of mocha, with some earthy hops. Relatively to style it has a mild dry aftertaste with residual notes of oatmeal and roasted malts.
Smooth medium to full body with low carbonation.
Not overly complex but quite assertive on its flavors, specially chocolate and coffee. Very good oatmeal stout.

Serving type: can
