Goose Island Oatmeal Stout

Pros: Roasted Malt Goodness
Cons: Filling

Goose Island Brewery has produced another noteworthy beer product with its oatmeal stout. The first thing you will notice about this award- winning beer is its aroma of coffee and malt. This helps to set the stage for the flavor, which can be...

Pros: smooth taste, drinkable
Cons: Not really distinctive for this price point ($6.99)

Goose Island has been around since 1988 as a local craft brewer for several years, although they have enough distribution and volume to be considered a regional brewer. I generally enjoy their brews. I didn’t remember having had their oatmeal ...

Pros: Rich, hearty, creamy reliable Midwestern brew
Cons: Limited distribution

When I was rapping with Teykaerts the other day and we were talking about beer (what else?), he asked what my favorites were. Quickly I rattled of five specific brews, and no surprise they all fell under one style, which Teykaerts was quick to point out....

Pros: Good value, a very pleasant stout
Cons: Not as rich and sweet as other oatmeals

This just in."Serial beer reviewer strikes again"

Yes beer fans, this is the third installment of my reviews of Goose Island products and speaking of cereal, tonight we will discuss the merits of the Oatmeal Stout. But...

Pros: sweet, rich, complex palate that's not too intense; smooth finish; light body
Cons: taste may be a bit too mild for more experienced drinkers

There’s a certain irony, I find, when recommending beers to the pedestrian beer drinker. Instead of pointing them towards the world-renown brews I find myself recommending something of slightly lesser quality. Why? Because the truly great beers are ...

Pros: Nice craft brew, sweet caramel, roasted and malty
Cons: I'm not sure about availability

I’m sorry, I saw the heading on their website, and thought it was so funny I had to use it. The joke's almost as bad as the Lamb Chops that are not too baaaaad, but such is the base of my humor.

Now I’m sure I’m not the only one here who got...

Pros: A sweeter and smoother Guinness
Cons: None

When I was young there were few things less appealing than oatmeal, that hot and sticky goop that always managed to taste like glue. It used to scare the heck out of me, but now I've grown up and can appreciate more complex flavors. Goose Island...

Pros: Solid stout, great taste, stands well by itself.
Cons: Bitter aftertaste at first, no head.

Since relocating to the Chicago area I have made it my mission to try every Goose Island brew that I can find. Right now I'm having trouble finding the Christmas Ale, can't figure out why.

I have no idea what an Oatmeal Stout is. I know I...

Pros: Good warm or cold/good bitter taste
Cons: may be too much for some pallets

Like the Sam Adams stout Goose Island's oatmeal Stout is a good stout when you can't get Murphy's or Guinness. It is a full bodied drink with a good stiff bitter. It has the usual cold coffee/tea taste of most stouts, but behind that there is another...

Pros: Smooth, tasteful, yet clearly a heavier beer
Cons: None for me, but some may disagree

Thus far I've only tried Goose Island's Stout, and will keep this opinion to same: The stout I tried this week-end was delightfully refreshing, and, while nothing is a Guinness, this tasted grrreat!

Personally, I like stouts, but from time...

Pros: Good flavor, smooth, full bodied.
Cons: A little steep in price.

I just purchased and tried my first bottle of Goose Island Oatmeal Stout. This is very good beer, to be sure. The first taste isn't so impressive, but the aftertaste suddenly comes and after the second imbibe, one is already used to the flavor, and even...
