Beer #7 - McAuslan St-Ambroise Oatmeal Stout

McAuslan Brewing St-Ambroise Oatmeal Stout

This Oatmeal Stout has received internation accolades and for very good reason.

From the pour it looks like dark black oil into the glass, the head is a mocha coloured foam cap.  Its a deep thick black beauty.

The aroma is like espresso with a sweet undertone like chocolate.  After smelling it, I don't think it is possible to resist sipping it.

It starts with the hops and malt, with the body carrying a sweetness and fading away back to the hops and malt.

It feels velvety smooth in the mouth, inviting you to keep drinking and let it roll around in your mouth.

Overall this is a great example of an Oatmeal Stout, I know I will have it again.  It would be great to base a stew around too.
