I purchased this beer last night at my local craft brew store as I am drawn towards stouts. I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up a 6-pack. I cracked one open after dinner and I have to say this is a tasty beer, of the few stouts I’ve tried I enjoy this one the best. Very smooth, not bitter and very drinkable. Excellent beer, I will be buying again.

I am a stout drinker first and fore most by choice. Watney’s cream stout was my first love. After it became extinct in NA I searched years for an equal. Only two years ago I came across a close replacement in St.Peters cream stout. Not quite as enjoyable as the WCS was but I was stoked to find one I could enjoy not just like.
Then six month’s ago at a select spirits only store in Tyngsboro (sp?) MA I was shelf shopping and came across the BF OS. Familiar with AVBC but clueless to this beer. Until now. If I am lucky enough to get this fresh it has won my heart. And taste buds. It maintains a rich head that produces more aroma and flavor then the afermentioned two.
Keep up the good work and I will continue to support you regularly!
What would really make me happy is if you’d load this in a mini 5L keg to fit my krups tap. Know that would be heaven sent!
THANK YOU!

I joined a beer club recently with 5 other guys. We each got 4 beers from 19 different cases. The first one I tried was the Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout. It was without a doubt the best. I will be going to get another case real soon.

Out of all the beers, ales and stouts at Alefest 09 San antonio, I think the Oatmeal Stout won my heart over. Just wish I can have me one now :)

I bought this beer by default…it was default of my local liquor store, they never told me about this wonderfull brew. Barney Flatts is by far the best Stout I have ever tasted. This stout kills any Taddy Caster or Oatmeal themed Stout out there. Wonderfull smoothness, roasty flavor and pure sweetwater make the finish very pleasing, leaving you with the need to go right back to the liquor store and by another one. This beer is wonderfull, please don’t change a thing.

Being from Philadelphia and having many good local breweries to choose from, I still find myself picking up a case of this beer, it is the best single beer I have ever had…HANDS DOWN! Love it, keep up the good work guys.

Every time I open one of these, I think that it can’t be as good as I remember. Then I take a sip and realize it is better.

I was working in a fine wine shop in Ohio back in 1993 when Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout changed the way I thought about beer and life. It remains as one of the finest beers I have ever tried and Anderson Valley ranks highly amongst the best brewing companies in the world.
