4.2/5
AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12 ounce bottle. Pours dark brown color with a fairly dense 2 finger light tan head with great retention that reduces to a thin lacing cap that lasts for a majority of the glass. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malt, wheat, oats, and a bit of cola and smoke. Some fairly strong aromas here. Taste of strong chocolate, oatmeal, roasted malt, coffee, and some caramel; with a very nice bitterness on the finish that adds a bit of a cola and citrus flavors that linger for a bit. Medium bodied and fairly high carbonation. A fairly creamy body that drinks very smoothly and easily. A little to much carbonation in my opinion, but it is still great on mouthfeel. Overall, an extremely enjoyable oatmeal stout with a ton of flavor and easy drink ability. I would definitely have it again.
For my first Anderson Valley brew, I am quite impressed. Maybe even the best normal gravity oatmeal stout I have had as well. Great stuff.
