From the brewer

Our Flagship Oatmeal Stout was aged in a Woodinville Whiskey Co. barrel for roughly two months and then gassed it up with nitrogen. Whoa, this is one smooth version of this great beer and it's just waiting for you...come get some!

Who's been drinking this

Another barrel-aged beer from Bellevue that doesn't fit the usual mold. This had the extreme smoothness you'd expect from an oatmeal stout, continuing into a sweetness. Finishes with an almost wine-like tannic barrel character. Cabernet comes to mind. Strongly alcoholic.
Hopefully an aberration, but this batch is really very sour, and unpleasant to drink.
Sweetish bourbon stout with a thin, cola-like body, not much bitterness. Creamy, this isn't, but it is very tasty. More immediately appealing than the nitro version from a couple years back.
Post climb normally want a lighter beer but couldn't resist this. Let this be a lesson, always give in to the wood.
It just got better - absolutely love it
Nice but I found it to be a bit more sour than I would have liked.
Some of that nitro sourness at the end, but otherwise very nice. Good, but understated, whiskey character, not too sweet, and a very clean finish. Gets noticeably better as it warms.
Smooth and roasty. Interestingly tasty head. Only downside is a slight sourness.
