Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout

It's always a treat to discover a new stout, and not only have I never tried Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout, but I've never even seen it before. Ah...the thrill of discovery! It pours a dark brunette with a scanty head, and smacks the nostrils with a chocolatey/coffee-ey aroma. There's a low ABV, under 5%, but a lot of hoppiness, riding the seesaw between bitterness and malty sweetness. The chocolate malts, with powdery cocoa mistiness coats the tongue and amazes the mind.
