Dark Horse Brewing Company
12 oz bottle
8% abv
Appearance: beautiful black body with fine legs dripping down the side of the glass. The head is a rich deep tan color and is thin overall as it is for the style. A creamy look to the tightly bubbled head.
Aroma: toasted malts, roasted coffee, and nothing special for it is fairly mild. I was expecting more from the way it looked. ‘Don’t read a book by its cover.’
Flavors: dark roast coffee, 70% dark chocolate like, smoked hardwood, toasted grains, roasted/slightly burnt molasses, a bitter note from the hops. The taste improves as the ale warms.
Mouthfeel: good smooth style, light carbonation, a moderate bitter bite on the mid-palate. There is a solid linger roasted coffee and dark chocolate dust on the palate.
To the Point: a very drinkable and enjoyable Oatmeal Stout.
