St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by McAuslan Brewing
Style: Stout
Montreal, Canada

Wonderful beer! Have been looking forward to this one for a long time. Beer has wonderful deep chocolate/roasted/nutty/coffee aroma. Appearance is in my opinion perfect. Deep, very dark brown with big light brown head that is retained. Tons of lacing. Flavor is wonderful malt and roasted nuts, there is almost nice hoppiness in the finish which is a bit dry. I am so glad winter is here so I can gladly quaff brews like this.

Bottle, thanks to someone. Black pour with brown ring of head. Aroma is sweet milk, light roasted malt. Flavor is the same, with chocolate as well and caramel sweetness.

Jet black appearance with a huge creamy, tan head. Aroma shared the characteristics of roasted malts, semi-sweet chocolate and coffee. The pleasantly bitter taste also mimiced the flavors of chicory and toasted grape nuts. Well balanced with a robust, smooth, full-bodied palate. Dry, slightly metallic finish. Thanks to Tiggmtl for the bottle!

Mmmm...Oatmeal stout. Goes great with my burrito. Seriously though, tastes of roasted coffee and chocolate. What more can a man ask for in a beer. Surprisingly smooth and tasty for such a low alcohol beer.

From a 12oz Bottle. Deep black, chocolatey murky pour with a marvelously sustaining head of deep toasty brown. Thick aroma of oatmeal - lots of oats present with a pleasant toasted character. A pinch of smokey characters as well, along with some dark chocolate tones. Light to medium bodied mouthfeel with a nice effervescence. Lots of flavor packed into a relatively light bodied beer. I love the subtle smoked character I’m getting. This beer has some niced chocolate, roasty, oatmeal, and even a touch of sour saltiness going on , which are fantasticly constructed and balanced, but are not powerful enough to blow me away. Quite delicious overall, and fabulously complex for the style. Thanks, Sammy!

A long, smokey oatmeal stout from Quebec, effortlessly easy to drink. Ebony colour, thick lacing head. Thick aroma of molasses, licorice, tar and sump oil. Substantial mouthfeel despite being medium-bodied and a little lighter than some stouts. Roast malt on the tongue, plus some burning tyres and bitter chocolate before a long, smokey finish. (Bottle)

Believe the hype! Phenomenal bottled stout. Can’t seem to find it in Iowa anymore, heard rumours it wasn’t going to be imported into america anymore. Surely this can’t be true. Has anyone else heard these rumours?
