Commercial Description:
St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout consistently beats out international stouts in blind tastings and competitions. This intensely black ale carries strong hints of espresso and chocolate. The oatmeal contributes body and ensures a long-lasting mocha-coloured head. If you like stout, you will love St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout.

11.5oz bottle. Pours a deep black with a huge and firm crema colored head. Aroma is light for a stout, with notes of coffee, roasted malt, and a few sweet hints of caramel and chocolate. Taste is full and very dry, with a very different array of flavors than the aroma would suggest -- roasted malt, wood, espresso, and even a little peat before a bittersweet finish of dark cherries, anise, and milk chocolate. A very unique and complex stout, and at 5% ABV a very drinkable one as well.

Pours coffee black, almost expresso. Head is small and antique gold coloured. Aroma is of french roasted coffee. Coffee flavor follows the nose onto the palate, there is a touch of sweetness mid palate that I can’t put my finger on and then bitterness. Too much bitterness. Inferior beer to Samuell Smith’s Oatmeal Stout. Make sure that you drink this at almost room temp for any enjoyment

Bottle courtesy of MN from the TO. Darkest amber with a long-lasting, loose sandy head. Espresso-brownie nose. A slight smokiness in the mouth with a drying, toasty finish. Minimal carbonation. Very good. The interesting lasting aftertastes range from burnt toast to licorice, by way of something medicinal (but not bad medicinal) with a whiff of coal dust. Great flavors from a 5% ABV.

A true treat from our canadian brothers Bottle. Huge creamy brown head that mostly lasted. Pitch black colour. Very good lacing in glass. Aroma was grain, butter, hint of smoke, liquorish, roasted and light notes of chocolate and coffee. Amazing for a 5% with this kind of complexity in the taste. Medium bodied with a flat carbonation. Flavour was light to moderated sweet with god burned bitterness to balance this beer. Nice smooth and slightly burned bitterness in the finish. Impressive! It is not always about the alcohol, this is evident in this beer.

Beautiful black pour with a finger of dark milk chocolate head and nice retention. Nice roasty aroma, smooth oats and chocolate. Body is smooth but not overly heavy. Very roasty body finishes with a strong malt bitterness nice coffee and chocolate notes.

Bottle thanks to Suttree. Thick pour, very large and thick, creamy brown head. Black body. Great, no, amazing lacing and very good retention. Very flowery aroma with milk chocolate, coffee, oatmeal, brown sugar, molassas, and pie crust. Smells like fresh cookies with some fresh mocha coffee. Taste is nice coffee, some chocolate and nuts, that refines over the every long (45 seconds or so) duration into hazelnuts. Good stuff. Creamy mouthfeel, but feels somewhat light boddied. Easy to drink, light carbonation.

Um....I’m gonna assume that this was a bad bottle and try again later. Super bitter and metallic. Pretty much undrinkable.

11.2oz. bottle served in a shaker pint. Poured a deep brown/black with some red highlights. Two fingers of fine bubbled tan head. Nice chocolate/roasted malt aroma. Also some fruitiness. Rich, creamy mouthfeel. Great coffee/roasted malt flavor. A bit of hop bitterness. Long dry chocolate malt finish. A solid oatmeal stout.
