Firestone Walker Brewing Co, California: http://www.firestonebeer.com/
Description: A decadent Oatmeal Stout brimming with cocoa and espresso aromas. Partially aged in bourbon barrels, this beer features a rich, dark chocolate and roasted coffee flavor with a creamy mouth feel and wonderfully dry finish. The addition of U.S. grown fuggles hops contributes the perfect amount of bitterness to this exceptionally balanced beer.

My take: We just got this on draft for our restaurant/bar here at Plan Check. It pours in a deep black color with a nice floating head of foam. Smells great and once it hits your mouth, you can pick up that nutty toasty notes with a flavor profile of coffee, oatmeal, and unsweetened chocolate. It's a creamy texture, little bitter but well balanced and very smooth malty finish. Pretty damn good stout to have while eating a breakfast/brunch. Which is exactly when I sampled this delicious beer. Highly recommended.
