SIERRA NEVADA BEER CAMP OATMEAL STOUT

On tap at Andy’s Corner Bar, middling full-bodied after dinner drink (a.k.a. Snowed In Imperial Oatmeal Stout) retains silken dark-brown chocolate creaminess over rolled oats-smoked cocoa beaning and mild molasses-draped caramelization. Bourbon vanilla-extracted serenity hits the midst alongside soy-milked espresso tinge, teasing fennel-anise nip and restraint nuttiness. But slick mocha finish allows slight plasticity to sully its rangy profile.

DARK HORSE ONE OATMEAL STOUT

Reputable sienna-headed mahogany-toned full body with dry coffee-oiled entry picks up Blackstrap molasses bittering over toasted oats backbone. Peat-y compost waft never sullies walnut-charred peanut shelling or dark chocolate undertones. Tertiary bourbon, vanilla, espresso, cola nut, black cherry, and ashen tobacco illusions barely touch the surface as heavy black coffee density overrides rich mocha finish.

MENDOCINO OATMEAL STOUT

Robust lactose-aided jet-black winter seasonal competes favorably against best full-bodied oatmeal stouts marketed year-round. Creamy molasses-sapped black chocolate roast and wood-charred hop-oiled black coffee bittering saturate sharp hazelnut, walnut, and Brazil nut toasting to setback earthen peat grouting. Tertiary vanilla bean, raisin, black cherry, and anise illusions jut in and out.

SOUTHERN TIER OAT IMPERIAL OATMEAL STOUT

Intriguing black velvety oatmeal stout with 11% alcohol perk juxtaposes hop-charred oat-toasted graining against milky chocolate-cocoa malting up-front. Brown sugared Baker’s chocolate illusions rise above tertiary vanilla bean, anise, molasses, tobacco, and tar notes as well as black cherry puree tartness. Dry espresso coffee informs oncoming fudge cookie finish ’til warm bourbon aftertaste beckons.
