Peoples Pint Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Peoples Pint
Style: Sweet Stout
Greenfield, Massachusetts USA

hands-down their best beer, worth stopping in for. A low ABV and one of three good casks on that night. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Very dark brown, with a delightful bubbly mocha head, lace. Roomish temperature, it would have been interesting to have it a bit colder and then go through a flavour range. Tastes of chocolate and licorice along with mouthfeel of oatmeal. Sourish finish.

This offering from the People’s Pint pours a delicious onyx black with a tan head that starts thick and frothy but dwindles down to a thin lace. The aroma is sweet, oats, caramel, chalky powdery essence, chocolate, and herbs, but hard to depict. The taste starts chocolate malt upfront, a hint of sourness is present but nothing that makes the beer off. The body is syrupy, well crafted, playful and makes me think about every sip cause there is something new each time. Overall this is a good oatmeal stout one that I will be going back to.

sampled at the brewpub. Very dark brown, almost black with a tan head. Aroma is chocolate, light roasty, light herbal hops. Taste is chocolate, lightly roasty but these qualities are somewhat muddled, a musty quality, and a thin lightly astringent finish.

22 oz bottle from Spirit Haus in Amherst, MA (September 2006) consumed around cellar temperature from a Chouffe tulip glass. Opaque purple-black colored with a smallish lasting dark creamy tan head....luscious chocolaty nose, just hugely aromatic even from several feet away with an amazing blend of herbal scents: spearmint certainly (!), licorice and perhaps cinnamon, in many ways this is reminiscent of a holiday spice beer in this oh-so-fragrant nosing.....it’s back down to earth when the tongue gets involved, though there’s some good chocolaty stuff it never reaches anything like transcendence and in fact becomes somewhat hard, mineralic and chalky at the finish with a cardboardy thinness as it warms, and the end result is old bitter coffee grounds unsupported by much malt or creaminess in the mouthfeel. Wow, this started out so well and finished so mediocre...bummer.

22oz bottle via trade with 46er3498 - Thanks Tom! - Pours black with a short offwhite head that stays only briefly. Aromas of chocolate, oatmeal, and roasted malts. Flavor is milk chocolate, lots of roasted malts, and oatmeal. Rather light in body for a stout and somewhat watery on the palate. Dry finish and a lingering sweet aftertaste. Not too bad..

(22oz bottle) Thanks to Kat in Lebanon, NH, for letting me sample this beer. Pours a headless, deep reddish-brown body. Nose of milk chocolate, soya sauce and roasted malt. Flavour of bitter cocoa powder, chocolate and molasses. Good.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark black with tan milky head. Aroma is roasted oats and chocolate. Taste is very creamy with toasted oatmeal, chocolate, and a little bitterness. Excellent brew. Re-rate: Tried this on cask at the brewery. Wow, very good. Very smooth.

i have tried several of this brewery’s offerings that are available at the bottle shop i work at. This one is my favorite. Nice chocolatey, roasted oatmeal flavor with a very smooth finish. Good Balance--Not overly sweet like some sweet stouts. Now I want to venture down to Greenfield and try this on tap!
