St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by McAuslan Brewing
Style: Stout
Montreal, Canada

Pours syrupy black with a dark brow decent sized head. Aroma of roasted malt, espresso. Mocha, dark chocolate, mollases, even some black currant detected in the taste. Nicely hopped. Bitter finish. Palate is smooth, carbonation well articulated, rather full-bodied. Fantastic. Bottle.

(Bottled, thanks oh6gdx!) Very dark brown with a firm and long-lasting, beige head. Very roasty, smoky, tarry and malty aroma with some lactic sourness and malt sweetness. Surprisingly earthy, quite smoky, tarry and lightly licoricey flavor with eucalyptus, and lots of roasted and some burned malt, dark chocolate, and a dry, ashy bitterness in the long finish. Medium-bodied, pretty silky-smooth palate with low to medium carbonation. An excellent, complex and throughly enjoyable stout - especially for the low ABV! This might even be better than Fuller’s London Porter...

12oz bottle (Thanks radiomgb) pours pitch black with a thick mocha head. Rich, roasted chocolate malt aroma, with coffee overtones. Big roasted coffee and chocolate flavor, with some hops coming in at the finish. Long, bitter chocolate finish. Medium bodied. Excellent stout.

Could have rated this quite a while ago... A beautiful black, with a large, frothy, chocolate-tan head and nice lacing. Aroma is malty sweet, roasted, tangy, frutiy berries, coffee, chocolate. Mmm. Tastes roasted choco-coffee, fresh, lightly citrusy hops, malty, finishes deliciously bitter and a little sour-sweet. Feels pretty rich in the mouth, my only complaint in the palate-department is that sometimes it feels a bit too "sharp", but sip it, and let it settle in the glass a bit and it should be fine. Very good.

Very black body with brown head. Every mouthful is filled with somptuous coffee and roast aromas. The alcohol makes this beer very warming and it ends with a deep and long lasting roast finish.

Sat on this for a special reason, none betterthen the birth of my second son, Alex. Poured dark brown with smooth and creamy light brown lingering head. Smelled like roasted coffee and lots of assorted fruits.I also smell the baby smell as my son sitts on my chest. Great Brew, finished wit a sour/bitter end that lasted.

It had an EXTREMELY large head. Black color and very muddy looking. Its taste was chocolate and coffee not my favourite things to mix, but overall good beer til the last drop.

Bottle. Oatmeal and chocolate headline the aroma here. Dark, almost black, large mocha coloured head, little lacing left on glass. Roasted coffee, caramel, chocolate, and oatmeal highlite the flavours. Smooth drinking with a nice bite of bitterness. Highly recommended.
