The Twisted Hop Oatmeal Stout

I may be slightly impartial to this beer than most for several reasons. 1. I have always been an advocate of Stouts. Particularly dry Isish ones. It was a moment of joy when the brewer at this place decided to do one after a bit of harassment. Thank you Sean. 2. I have drunk more of this beer than anyone else. I love the caramalt and chocolate malt flavours from this luscious heady brew. I hope that it stays as one of the favourite seasonal beers brewed at this place. It would be a shame to see it go.

A good example of the style in every facet. Hand pumped so very creamy and soft structure. Milk chocolate and mild coco drives the flavours but the intensity did fall away in the back palate to leave a mild burnt note.

Pint @ brewpub. Lovely inky black, slight red hues against the light. Looks divine in the glass with a beautiful creamy head. Smooth mellow flavours - touches of everything in balance. Roast malts, chocolate, coffee, cream you name it. Supreme finishing dryness. Fine stuff
