Emersons Oatmeal Stout

Black colour with large beige fluffy head.Taste of chocolate and dark berries.Flavor is rosted and light smoked well balanced with medium body tasty mild beer.

Bottle (500ml). Poured very deep brown (virtually black) with a tint of red and a good sized, dense, rocky, tanned head which lasted superbly. Aroma was packed to the brim with bitter chocolate and coco powder with roasted malts, caramelized dates, burnt toast and some tart blackberries. Flavor was similar to aroma with bitter chocolate, coco powder, roasted malts, burnt toast with vegemite, caramelized dates, tart black berries and some molasses in the finish. Medium with lively carbonation, a dry mouthfeel, watery texture and an ok finish. Severely over carbonated for the style (and my liking). I found this one quite similar to Goulburn Stout.

Big biege frothy head on a dark opaque stout with good carbonation.Aroma is rich malt chocolate,hops roasted,molasses and liccorice notes.Flavour good smooth chocolate malt,very easy tasting slight bitter is good.can taste the oats,blends in well with the malt.Finish, bitter plus a smooth malt oat chocolate taste.

Pours a clear black with an average, creamy off-white head and fair lacings. Not so sweet with a bit of bitterness. Malty aromas of chocolate and roasted malts. Hint of vanilla too. Medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation. Very good.

Bottle@Taieri Gorge Railway, Dunedin. Black beer with a lightly chocolate and roasted aroma. The flavour is smoothly chocolaty with a dry finish. Overall an average chocolate tasting stout.
