Dec 23, 2004 St-Ambroise Oatmeal Stout was my favourite beer until I tired this one. Oh God this is good stuff. It is surprisingly light and the flavour is rich. It’s too bad it is only around for the Christmas season at the LCBO. It’s also too bad that it is so expensive. It comes with 3 other traditional ales at a little over $13.00. Still it is worth it.

Jul 7, 2008 Updated: Jan 29, 2009The colour is pitch-black. It is lowcarbonated and the formation of froth is therefore rather modest. The taste of hardroasted malt is very strong and persistent, the roasted taste is different from what I have tasted earlier, which probably can attribute to the admixture of roasted oats. The taste of elderberry recedes very appropriately into the background and it actually gives a weakly touch of liquorice. Other notes are dark chocolate and smoke. The bitterness is rather limited, so its a beer which in spite of the full-bodied taste seems pretty round and soft.
Its an outstanding beer which I can´t get enough of.

Apr 9, 2004 Updated: Jun 12, 2004Good stuff. It tasted like what I imagine a smoked beer would taste like. It tastes roasted with a fruit undertone. I don't know if it tastes like elderberrys as I never had one. I will say it is something very different and worthy.

Jan 15, 2005 Pours like a thick root beer. The smell is of thistle in a quaint Scottish garden, and the taste is of the rugged Highland earth. Smoky with a slight hint of peat moss initially, followed by the subdued sweetness of elderberry. Awesome. (Whenever I hear ’elderberry,’ I always think of Monty Python for some strange reason... Hmmm. Wonder why.)

Nov 9, 2003 Wow! Great suprise. I don't really like traditional ales but this was good. I don't know how to drink an elderberry beer so I used a tulip glass. It has a nice refreshing palate with just a hint of what I presume are elderberries. I didn't know elderberries existed other than for Monty Python to use as parental insults. It has a hint of smoke or malty flavor, it's a bit subtle. It still has the traditional beer rawness to it though. The taste may be a bit tainted by a raisin beer I drank earlier but all in all it is the best fruit-related beer I've had.

Flavor is almost the same, medium body,coffee,dry hops. Nice long finish.
This must bee a Stout, more than a Traditional Ale or what?
