Oatmeal Stout with Molasses Bacon

Ok so my forte' is wine, but I will definitely give a shout-out to delicious beer (and liquors). My sister is doing a potluck beer/food pairing tomorrow, and she's bringing oatmeal stout with molasses bacon. Seems like a good pairing, although I haven't had stout in a long time and I haven't had bacon in even longer. She asked me to help her come up with a description of these flavors...any ideas???
