When we first brewed this beer, we stuck a thermometer in the mash to measure the temp and with all the oatmeal- the mash was so thick that the thermometer didn't sink- it stuck straight up. A minute later when we weren't looking the mash swallowed the thermometer up like Quicksand and the name was born (luckily it wasn't a mercury thermometer!) Bold flavors of sweet brown sugar & rich dark roasted barley. A huge dose of toasted, flaked oats give this beer its velvety-smooth finish. 6.7% abv
