DRAFT REVIEW: Oatmeal Stout
RATING
88

A mild dark malt aroma rises from the creamy tan head of this cola-hued brew: Hints of dark roasted coffee and sweet cream drift up to the nose while earthy hops tie the two together. Similarly, coffee and subtle cream notes splash down first and blanket the tongue. Delicious nutty oatmeal flavors emerge in the middle, adding depth to this creamy beer’s already rich malts. In the back, earthy hops signal a bitter wave, which merges with the sharp roasted malts for a long-lasting dry finish.
