Ipswich Oatmeal Stout

Bottle. Lovely oily espresso nose, dark and chocolaty with strong but comfortable roast and slippery oats. Pitch pour with a creamy light/dark brown head. Taste is dark, dry, and nicely bittersweet, finishing and lasting dry roast. Burned notes rather than coffee. Chocolate is similar to that in many impies but without any accompanying fruit (does have lactose, though). Medium body, touch of oiliness, and subtle bg hops toward the back. Smooth and creamy with just a little prickle. Touch of cracker splashed with light citrus, alcohol is well-hidden. Classic dark, dry stout, and a textbook definition of a dessert beer. Superlative for style.

Pours a pitch black with a 1/2 a finger tan head that doesn’t last very long. Strong nose of dark chocolate covered espresso beans. The taste is of black coffee and chocolate.

Terrific coffee aroma with hint of chocolate. Fairly dry, dark roasted flavor. A really solid stout.

the pours an impenetrable black color and a tan 1\2 inch head. its aroma contains strong hints of coffee, oats, toasted malts and some sweetness. tastes spectacular with strong notes of oats and coffee. a great beer

1/2 Gallon pitcher (hard to find but refillable at the brewery). Dark, rich and delicious, leaves little to be desired.
