St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by McAuslan Brewing
Style: Stout
Montreal, Canada

damn i saw lumpy rated the bottle i sent him and noticed i didn’t have a rating, so i searched through my notes, and i found it. cold as hell outside, i can hear what sounds like a drunk yelling in the street, and i am a bit envious. the blood on my arm is flaking off from where some jack ass cut me at work tonight. my feet hurt & i have some burritos in the making as i crack this open. it took a while to pour this. such a large brown head that took a while to subside. i can smell dusty brownies in this. charred almost smokey coffee notes, a chocolate truffle flavor too. very thick, and very good. this is really helping make my rough day fade. if cananda would allow me over the border i’d drive(well once i get a car and my license back) for cases of this. the bitterness of the roast & the coffee notes keep this incredibly drinkable and makes it possible for the lush sweetness not to get old. a chocolate coffee finish that is just the right balance of dry/sweet.the coffee really dominates the nose as this warms more. i’m just smiling and thinking of coffee and brownies. a beautiful beer. 5 8 9 5 19

bonus beer from richlikebeer.(talk about a nice surpirse!)poured this into my courvoisier snifter and recieved one of the best looking brews i have ever laid my eyes on.thick as a brick when it poured,blacker than black when held to light,and a nice chocolate looking head that left thick webbing as it sat.my nose was gifted with aromas of roasted malt,cherries,chocolate,oatmeal,and a tiny bit of smoke.the first sip gave a rush of coffee,oatmeal,smoke,chocolate,malts...damn this is yummy!you cant find a beer with much more complexity and visual appeal than this.thanks again to richlikebeer for this exceptional brew.

Full of flavour. Great mouthfeel and a very pleasant aroma. The best example of stout that I’ve been able to find commerically.

Poured into an English pint. Pours very a very silky and seductive opaque black with a long lasting brown head and nice lace. Aromas of cafe mocha, and, Whoppers malted candies. Well blended roasted and chocolate flavors take center stage, with a subtle hop character. I bit of sourness that doesn’t exactly offend, but can certainly be done with out. Velvet across the tongue. Very worthy of its position, yet under rated. Thanks a million to Saarlander for the hookup.

Aroma is malty, toasted grains, dark chocolate and some mild coffee. Looks amazing: black with a large frothy brown head and good lacing. Flavour is roasted and reminds me of chocolate milk. Well balanced: some sweetness and bitterness with moderate bitterness in the long finish. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Great stuff!

Very dark and rich. Definate flavour of espresso and chocolate. Nice mouth feel and body. Finishes a touch too bitter but still quite smooth and enjoyable.

Bottle: Pours dark with a big head. Smells very roasty. Smooth to drink. Creamy feel to it. Hints of chocolate. This is a very good stout, I’d recommend it to all my friends.

This is my new Favorite beer. the aroma and flavour are wonderful. drinakable, a stout that leaves you wanting another. Black with a nice tan head. not heavy. malty, roatsted. Chocolate and complet
