American Stout
Turtle Stone Brewing Company

 

 

 

First had: on tap at Double Eagle Saloon, Vineland, NJ

Poured a dark brown-black with a small, bubbly, tan head that receded to a ringlet, but otherwise retained in that state. Labeled as a "hoppy oatmeal stout," this beer had a fairly roasty aroma, coffee and cream. Taste was similarly roasty with an underlying creamy sweetness, coffee, slight hop presence, which normally may seem a bit misplaced in a stout, but seemed to work well here. Mouthfeel was near the heavier side of medium, pretty smooth and fairly creamy, but I'd venture to suggest that this beer would be much better served on nitro. Otherwise, this was a pretty decent stout overall.
