Panhead Blacktop Oat Stout

As the cold dark weather continues it is a perfect time to continue my exploration of dark beers. This time it is a tried and true hop head's take on a stout. Panhead's Blacktop Oat Stout. A friend of mine told me that unfortunately this beer wasn't selling because nobody really likes it, however, a trip over to Untappd shows that there are plenty of people drinking it and plenty of them like it too, so I think he must have his facts wrong. The masses seem to like it and I like it too.

It poured out nice and dark with plenty of head, as a good stout should. It tasted dark but chocolatey and smooth rather than strongly burnt and it had an interesting dry finish. Not sure if this is a tactic to make you go back and quench your thirst with another mouthful? Overall a fitting addition to a cold night beer library and one I look forward to slowly making my way through one again.
