St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by McAuslan Brewing
Style: Stout
Montreal, Canada

A true treat from our canadian brothers Bottle. Huge creamy brown head that mostly lasted. Pitch black colour. Very good lacing in glass. Aroma was grain, butter, hint of smoke, liquorish, roasted and light notes of chocolate and coffee. Amazing for a 5% with this kind of complexity in the taste. Medium bodied with a flat carbonation. Flavour was light to moderated sweet with god burned bitterness to balance this beer. Nice smooth and slightly burned bitterness in the finish. Impressive! It is not always about the alcohol, this is evident in this beer.

Beautiful black pour with a finger of dark milk chocolate head and nice retention. Nice roasty aroma, smooth oats and chocolate. Body is smooth but not overly heavy. Very roasty body finishes with a strong malt bitterness nice coffee and chocolate notes.

Bottle thanks to Suttree. Thick pour, very large and thick, creamy brown head. Black body. Great, no, amazing lacing and very good retention. Very flowery aroma with milk chocolate, coffee, oatmeal, brown sugar, molassas, and pie crust. Smells like fresh cookies with some fresh mocha coffee. Taste is nice coffee, some chocolate and nuts, that refines over the every long (45 seconds or so) duration into hazelnuts. Good stuff. Creamy mouthfeel, but feels somewhat light boddied. Easy to drink, light carbonation.

Um....I’m gonna assume that this was a bad bottle and try again later. Super bitter and metallic. Pretty much undrinkable.

11.2oz. bottle served in a shaker pint. Poured a deep brown/black with some red highlights. Two fingers of fine bubbled tan head. Nice chocolate/roasted malt aroma. Also some fruitiness. Rich, creamy mouthfeel. Great coffee/roasted malt flavor. A bit of hop bitterness. Long dry chocolate malt finish. A solid oatmeal stout.

12oz bottle. black pour, brown head. aroma of sweet burned coffee, caramel and soy sauce. taste is oatmeal, coffee and dark fruits. little metallic in the finish. good, smooth and creamy. dry dark chocolate finish.

Noire foncée avec une épaisse mousse beige. Un goût de café fort suivi d’une très bonne amertume. Excellent!
