Overall 6.7/10 - Breckenridge Brewery Oatmeal Stout is an excellent beer. It has a mildly bitter, yet sweet front end with an intense cocoa and bitter finish. The beer is smooth and full bodied.
Appearance 1.2/2.0 - Dark, Black, very little color variation, not head when poured out of the bottle, and not much fizz.
Smell 1.6/2.0 - Light smell, sweet, and with a strong smell of cocoa
Taste 2.5/4.0 - Bitter/Smooth start, cocoa/oatmeal finish, mildly bitter, and very smooth. It is complex with a variety of flavors (bitter, sweet, cocoa, oatmeal). I find the finish to be a little bitter and slightly oaky.
Mouth Feel 1.3/2.0 - Smooth, full bodied, mildly carbonated, no burn.
Pairing - The oaky/cocoa flavor would go well with any crispy dish. An ideal meal would would be fried chicken or a pecan crusted trout with a side of mac-n-cheese.
