St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by McAuslan Brewing
Style: Stout
Montreal, Canada

Tried thIs and was disappointed that I only grabbed one stubby. Went down as smooth as, dark body with good light tan head that lasted well and left clumps of lacing. Good aroma, malt, chocolate, coffee and toasted notes. Same again in the taste, a lIttle thin making it easy to drink. Enjoyable.

Another Bottle from Daknole. Thanks. Pours dark brown with a medium beige head. Aroma is sweet and malty with hints of oats, toffee, and dried fruits such as orange and raisins. Taste has lots of rasted notes, oats, and slight nuttiness. Finish is very bitter and very dry. Aroma is much more profound than the taste. Palate is thin but smooth.

Poured an absolute treat; dark chocolate and choc orange / coffee coloured head. Lots of sweet roast and chocolate waftes up together with a sweeter fruity edge. Palate firms up considerably with bitter roast, soft choc orange but an absence of the sweet chocolate. This is good stout, but no way is it a 99%er.

12 oz. bottle. Opaque brown/black body under a creamy tan head and decent lace. Aroma of chocolate and coffee, some nice vanilla, and hints of spice. Full, creamy body, lighlty carbonated, amooth and dry on the palate. Treacle and chocolate sweetness, softly bittered for a nice balance. A very smooth and drinkable stout.

Appearance: Pours a dark brown, near black body with a frothy, light tan head. Smell: Roasty, oat-encrusted aroma with notes of unsweetened chocolate and coffee, along with a small whiff of black licorice. Taste: Pleasing mixture of cold, black coffee, creamy steel cut oats, and chocolate. Medium-low amount of sweetness. Lesser tastes of licorice and vanilla. Faint fruitiness. Earthy, roasty bitterness. Further taste of roasted barley and a light pinch of good, clean soot on the dry finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Decidedly creamy mouthfeel. Drinkability: Recommended. As an oatmeal stout charged with plenty of flavor and yet still manages to maintain a reasonable ABV%, I’d say it’s got a damned high degree of drinkability.

341ml bottle in Guiness pint. Pours dark and give a small creamy head that goes away fast. Roasted, alcohol and subtile chocolate aroma. Flavor is a bit sweet and a bit of bitterness on the finish.

A damn good stout. Pours out a dark brown color with a medium tan head. aroma was malty with notes of molasses, dark fruit, and a bit of choco. flavor was very much the same, but a little on the thin side. i had an older bottle and this beer didnt age well, but fresh this is a great beer

Dark biege or light chocolate coloured head on a very dark stout with good carbonation aroma coffee rich chocolate maltiness mild molasses flavour gritty and resinous stick to the palate for a start coffee strong mild chocolate sweet taste throughout the stout has a real pleasantness with the oatmeal bitter is strong upsets the balance a bit finish hop bitter weakens or takes away other flavours but still a good stout.
