Oatis Vanilla Oatmeal Stout is characterized by a roasted front flavor, smooth rich oats, a touch of chocolate flavor and a rich vanilla complexity imparted by whole vanilla beans. It is bigger than a traditional stout with more alcohol, body and a touch more bitterness to keep it balanced.
Smooth. Roasty. Heavy. And holy crap, this beer is sweet. Really fucking tasty, absolutely, but I also kind of feel like I'm drinking an ice cream cake. I'm not against that, really, but it's not always dessert-time, you know?
But sometimes it is. Mmmmmm.
