St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout

12oz bottle from the LCBO This is very bitter and that is why it does not get a higher rating from me

Black with a briwn head. Big roasty, nutty malt aroma with black licorice. Creamy smooth body, Rich, dry, blackened malt flavors at first yields to an earthy sweet black licorice and mocha finish. Reminds me of an old skool english stout.

Pours a thick dark brown, black with a small but steady light brown head. Beautiful nose, all roasty and toasty. Dark chocolate and roasted coffee with more subtle hints of molasses and licorice. Taste is more of the same with better flavors coming through as the beer warms. Bittersweet chocolate and coffee are again predominate. Finishes very dry, crisp and clean with just a slight bitterness.

Great nose. Notes of roast coffee and chocolate. Palate was milky same chocolate taste. Oats came through later on. Great beer

Poured almost completely black from 11.5 oz bottle, forming little to no foamy head. Aroma of roasted nuts, chocolates, burnt coffee, hoppage. Flavour of much the same, cocoa powder comes through, somewhat bitter, however, I could see how the on tap version could be great, otherwise, this particular beer is OK.

Thanks AgentSteve. Dark brown, chocolate, molasses, little oats, little roasted malts, little coffee, with a dry finish.

Opaque black pour with a tan head. Aroma of chocolate and pecan, roasted malt, coffee. Flavor is lightly sweet: chocolate and coffee. Nice body and a crisp dry finish. Very nice.

Pours deep brown with a tan head. Nose is rich with chocolate, molasses, a touch of coffee and roasted malts. The flavor is quite the same. Medium mouthfeel and dry finish.
