Oatmeal Stout
ABV: 5.2%
IBU: 37
RATING
89
Easy on the eyes with twinkling ruby highlights,The Poet greets the nose with a rich coffee and cream aroma; nutty oatmeal and light milk chocolate add earthy and sweet scents. Subtle roasted flavors arrive on the tongue first, with nutty oatmeal following closely behind. As the smooth, creamy beer fans out, oatmeal peaks in the middle and counters sweet chocolate. A dose of bitter roasted malts subdues the flavors for a dry finish that leaves dark malts lingering on the tongue.
