Wild Rose Alberta Crude Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Wild Rose Brewery
Style: Sweet Stout
Calgary, Canada

Plastic Party Pig mini keg.Pours pitch black, with a thick off-white to brown head. This beer totally reminds me of smelling mocha ice cream!! Delicious! Smells of chocolate, mocha, espresso and cappucino. Tastes like it to, way more than i was expecting from this. Tastes of chocolate, oats, and bitter espresso. Very thin mouthfeel though unfortunately, which is surprising and disapointing considering the color and density of the head.

Draft at the brewery. Pours deep inky viscous black, with a thick creamy tan head. Nose is hickory smoke, coffee, chocolate, roast malt, fruit. Palate is quite fruity, more roast, mild chocolate. Very good.

Terrific look to this beer. Black as night with a thick mocha head that lasts forever. Very unusual nose....bbq sauce and baked beans dominate the malt. Taste hints with caramel then displays a much to subdued layer of malt. Mouth feel is disapointing as this beer looks and should be much thicker than it actually is. Finish is long and strong and finally showing some signs of oatmeal. I want to know what happened to the body of this beer? It simply doesn’t arrive till the finish!

FRom a party pig. Looks as black as the night. Strong aroma of roasted malts. Flavour is very malty characterised by chocolate and particularily in the finish. This is a great stout.

Sampled at Wild Rose brewery. pours dark black with only a hint of red. The brew master gave me a L.E.D. flashlight to try to see light through it and I could not unless I held it to the very edge. Has a mocha coloured head that leaves rings all the way down my glass. Aroma has tar, mixed with chocolate, coffee, and smoke. Tastes fairly smokey with dark chocolate, black coffee, oatmeal, and loads of tar on the finish. Really thick, bitter-sweet stout. Great carbonation. Mouth coating goodness. I brought home a party pig of this because it was so good.

Had on tap in the taproom as well as at the Palomino downtown. Absolutely magnificent. A wonderful beer from Wild Rose. Jet black...creamy tan coloured head. Aroma of malts roasted extra long. Burnt flavours ad hint of oatmeal is present. I would love to drink this beer all the time.

- served on draft at the location in Calgary. Opaque... jet black, with a light tan, creamy, and sticky head. Malt roast, a subtle chocolate... a nice, softer aroma. Some modest notes of whole wheat. Deep roasted malts, slightly burnt flavours. Some mellow espresso flavours. Chocolate is kept to a minimum on the palate, and oatmeal is also low-key and pleasant. Creamy, round... dash of carbonation, but barely. Easy going Alcohol, a great session selection - served in true blue 20oz pints, and easy to do a few of them.

Draught at the brewery
Black color. Some aroma of roasted malt. Medium body, with a quite strong roasted malt flavor, and a light sourness. Not as much creamy as promised.
