St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by McAuslan Brewing
Style: Stout
Montreal, Canada

One of my first (and favorite) beers. Made locally, the stuff is always excellent when purchased, and goes down smooth on ever occasion.

Pours black and beautiful with a frothy tan head and a mochachino bouquet. Bold coffee and burnt chocolate flavours mingle with roasted barley, hops and (of course) oatmeal. Just fantastic, truly deserving the accolades mentioned here. (341ml bottle)

A taste treat from Dave (pootzboy) in Canada. Thanks, Buddy! Pours a beautiful black and tan: black body with foamy tan head. Decorous lacing. The aroma is roasted malts, subtle coffee and chocolate notes. Full and rich bodied, smooth and creamy in the mouth. Just the slightest hint of carbonation. The flavor was a beautiful blend of roasted coffee and Dutch cocoa and malt. This is a stout I can live with. Would love to taste side-by-side with Dark Lord, Siberian Nights, Speedway, and Stone Imperial. Stoutie Ecstasy. Thanks again, Dave.

Spectacular. Chewy and - perhaps most important - lingering chocolate, coffee, roasted malt flavours. Pours blacker than night with a creamy head that stays with you. Don't think you'll easily find a better Oatmeal Stout. The re-rate is purely because of the orgasmic nature of combining this one with chocolate the other night. Wow.

the best bottled stout i have found so far. full bodied beer. hints of coffee, chocolate, roasted malt

Great beer. Very roasty, smoky aroma. The flavour is malty and a little sweet. The smokiness translates to a smooth mellowing flavour. The beer is pitch black. You can hold this up in front of a light bulb and not see through it. Veeeeery dark and ohhhh so delicious. The beer pours a dark tan head that quickly disappears. Mid-heavy carbonation lends itself well to the earthy, malty taste. It gives the flavour a prickliness and lets it linger in your mouth. What can I say that hasn’t already been said. This beer wins awards for a reason. Highly recommended. Cheers!

One of my top few beers. Nice bitter coffee and hints of chocolate flavour. And lacking a better way to phrase it at this point, it is a very clean tasting beer. Dry might be the right word to use there.

Bottle. Pours a deep black, with a slight dark beige head. Smells of roasted coffee, with a hint of caramel malt. Incredible hit of coffee and chocolate malts, very complex flavour that hits you on so many levels. Very smooth tasting, and the taste hits you again, impeccable aftertaste. Just might the best beer I’ve ever had so far. The only complaint think of is it’s thin bodied, that’s it. Incredible.
