St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by McAuslan Brewing
Style: Stout
Montreal, Canada

A damn good stout. Pours out a dark brown color with a medium tan head. aroma was malty with notes of molasses, dark fruit, and a bit of choco. flavor was very much the same, but a little on the thin side. i had an older bottle and this beer didnt age well, but fresh this is a great beer

I had been wanting this beer for quite some time. Given how long its been on the top 50, the bar had been raised pretty darn high. It fell slightly short of what I was expecting, but it was an excellent stout. Appearance was typical for the style. I liked the mouthfeel of this beer, robust chocolate and roasted malts came out, coffee. Dry finish....nice! I had this at the Austin tasting. I believe TChrome brought a pair of 12 oz bottles. One of the bottles was half full about an hour after we first opened them....how could this poor, remaining, neglected beer be left alone, watching us drink his cousins??? I sent him home!

Okay, what a stout, Thanks be to Edward (brooklynboy) for sharing this awesome brew. Drinking this makes me wish that I had a fantastic tounge that could pull this apart, or even better, a fantastic brain that could write it down. Dark in colour with a nice brown-grey head, the nose is malty with chocolate and warmth, the tatse is just aobout the same with a sense of purity and hops. Great stuff, get ahold of this if you can.

Thanks to Boutip for this beer from an exellent trade. The appearance is black with a nice soft light brown head. The aroma is molases, chocolate and vanilla, quite wonderful. Flavor rich, smooth and roasty. The mouthfeel even gets your attention with a condiserable hope presense. Smooth, sweet, rich, hoppy, very well balanced stout all around.

dark tan head, brownish black body. roasted malt nose, toffee and molasses too. high carbonation, but goes creamy. sweet malt and bubblegum flavor, slight hop bitterness, then dry finish

WELL endowed coffee and cocoa flavors with a hint of vanilla and perhaps a honey like flavor in the mix. a bit on the watery and light side in comparison to some others of note. also lacking the abrasiveness of some of the more popular stouts of such as of late. a little hop like bitterness is evident particularly in the finish though i would like it to be more pronounced. a bit of a powdery character to it. good beer.

bb 31juil06. 12oz bottle. Picked up a six pack at La Fromagerie Atwater. Poured in an english pint at 55.5°F/~13.5°C. The color is dark black, without so much as a hint of red, with a small, mocha colored head that collapses and leaves a foam trail on the glass. Aroma is very roasty with coffee, 70% chocolate, and aromatic hops. The initial taste is espresso with a shot of buttermilk. The taste is roasty, both sweet and mildly sour, cofee, bittersweet chocolate, with an enjoyable moderately bitter, citrusy? floral? hoppy finish. The mouthfeel is very full initially, but finishes nicely. It seems like a much bigger beer than it is. The combination of the roasty malt and the bitter hops really is perfect, certainly one of the best stouts. Very easy to drink.

thanks to richlikebeer for this 12 oz. bottle. those canadians know how to make coffee stouts, eh? aroma of rich expresso and roasted malt. deep dark brown pour with a succulent tan head. flavor is coffee up front but not as overpowering as I expected. hints of bittersweet chocolate on the tail end with some hop bitterness coming thru as well. a tastey stout from start to finish, thanks rich
