St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by McAuslan Brewing
Style: Stout
Montreal, Canada

Dégusté dans un verre de newcastle. Bière d’une impressionnante beauté, de la couleur à la mousse. Une bière d’un noir intese et d’une mousse collante laissant à chaque gorgé une trace de mon passage. Une odeur de noisette grillé, de chocolat et de café. Avec le temps, j’ai pu sentir une odeur d’olive noir très plaisante et un légère senteur de vanille bourbon. Un goût franc de torréfaction et de chocolat mi amère laissant entrevoir un léger goût de caramel. En bouche, du gruau liquide, un bel équilibre entre l’amère,le sucré, la rondeur et le huilleux. Très plaisante, sans artifice juste bien dosé et en harmonie.

half a year past it’ s due date. Bottle from ølbutikken enjoyed at home. pours somewhere between black and very dark brown, brown head that doesn’t seem entirely stable. strong aroma of coffeee, roasted malts, toffee, chocolate, faint banana milkshake. very very strong flavor, more than full bodied, starts out slightly sweet and chocolaty and ends superdry heavily roasted without becoming burnt. aftertaste very dominated by roasted malts and other roasted stuff. palate is real nice, thick brew, but strangely, somehow it feels a little watery too. Overall it is absolutely amazing that someone gets this much flavor out of a brew at only 5%. If i had to guess, i’d put the ABV at 10% and guess this was an imp.stout or something. for a 5% beer we’ve got unbeliveably intense flavor and aroma. and i though guinness was amazing for a "low alc", blah. this is the real stuff.

smells like a coffee cream candy from pot o gold chocolates. it poured with a thin but lasting dark head and is dark dark brown. it feels as smooth as velvet.. absolutely awesome feel. the taste is subdued, bitter coffee.

Bottle, thanks to someone. Black pour with brown ring of head. Aroma is sweet milk, light roasted malt. Flavor is the same, with chocolate as well and caramel sweetness.

Bottle courtesy of golubj. Very nice looking pour with a dark brown color and a light brown head. Aroma was quite sweet with a lot of chocolate, vanilla, caramel with a very light roasted presence. Flavor was much more balanced than the aroma, but there was still alot of sweetness, that did not seem to work too well. More smokey and roasted elements than the aroma foreshadowed. Maybe I was not in the mood for it, but this did not quite connect with me.

Bottle. Very powerful chocolate and roast aroma. Black body, light brown head. Flavor follows from aroma, roasted and chocolate, then adds a lengthy bittersweet finish. Delicious.

Bottle. Dark brown body wit a medium tan head. Roasted malt, tobacco and chocolate in aroma. Flavour is the same with some caramel and smoke to add. Soft and pleasant body.

BottleBlack body with a small light brown head. Aroma is smoke, tar and chocolate. Taste is smoke, chocolate and roasted malt.
