Scheldebrouwerij Oesterstout

My Bottom Line:
The candied sweetness of vanilla and milk chocolate personifies this slick and very drinkable strong Stout for sweet teeth.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam protects the brown-sleeved blackness.
-Diplomatic roastiness and earthiness stand nearby.
-Small, friendly bubbles enhance the slick impression provided by the dextrins and malty flavor profile.
-There is no sign of the alcohol in the flavor profile.
-The flavor profile is mostly sweet, but never overly so.
-There are fruity undertones in the vanilla-like sweetness.
-This is not super complex for a strong Stout, but it remains quite enjoyable and well crafted.
