Oatmilk Stout
Capitol City Brewing Company

What makes Oatmilk stout special is the addition of lactose. The milk sugar gives this beer more sweetness, and even more creamy aromas and flavors.

Oatmilk Stout pours to a beautiful, deep ebony color with a thick and creamy white head, and a moderate amount of carbonation. The nose on this beer is wonderful, with lots of dark chocolate and sweet malty aromas paired with mild touches of roast, and sweet cream. The palate is silky smooth and creamy from the use of oats, with lots of chocolate, dark malt, mild roasted coffee and sweet cream flavors, the just glide over the tongue.

Oatmilk Stout finishes with more chocolate, light roast, and sweet creamy flavors that linger.

Poured with a thin, nearly film, choclate brwon head which drops to a ring. Very dark brown, almost black color.
Smell was disappointing as there was very little of it, just a very slight coffee whiff and a hint of oatmeal.
Taste was a good strong roasted coffee at first, with a slight dark chocolate flavor showing up later. Also some hint of oakiness and alcohol.
Mouthfeel was creamy, medium/full bodied and smooth.
Drinkability is good but not great. Not a complex brew, nor very well balanced. I would have liked to try the other stout to compare but was unable to.

This is a new, and hopefully frequent offering from Cap City. It is both an oatmeal, and a milk stout.

Beer was served in a standard, Cap-City logo'ed pint glass. Very dark, almost black in color. Very little head. Smell was deceptive - it revealed a sweet beer with a hint of malt domminance, but was not as complex as the brew really was. Taste was a unique treat. Both the oatmeal style and the lactose milk stout were readily identifiable. The two tastes combined and reinforced each other. Very complex and very tastey! Great mouthfeel, and very, very quaffable. I will need to get back before the taps run out on this one.
