Stern Line Stout
3 Daughters Brewing

Note: I am in the process of moving all of my ratings from other beer sites to here, so that all of my ratings are consolidated in one place. The review below is an exact copy of my original RateBeer review from 03/18/2017.


12 oz. can. Pours opaque black with a tall, tan head that lasts forever. Aromas of brown sugar, dry oats, caramel, and coffee. Taste is mildly sweet with flavors of coffee and unsweetened chocolate. There are hints of vanilla too. It is light-bodied with a slick texture. Carbonation is average and the finish is a bit bitter and short lived. Overall, it is what you would expect from an oatmeal stout. Although, for a stout, the body is a bit thin.

 

Best thing on their menu. This stout was packed with oatmeal flavor.

 

 

 

 

 

By far, the best 3 Daughters offering I've had to date...

This has to be the tastiest oatmeal stout I've experienced, in fact, this is what I always imagined an oatmeal stout should taste. The look starts out very promising - dark, tan head, and good lacing. The smell is mostly malty, I really can't pull out any of the oatmeal, coffee, or chocolate touted on the can. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, lightly carbonated, and silky smooth. All of this leading into a complex brew blending distinct tangy notes of coffee, the simple taste of oatmeal, and just enough of a touch of sweetness of chocolate - truly amazing craft (IMHO). This brewer doesn't get enough love locally, but keep on putting beers like these and folks will notice.

 

 

A: Dark brown almost opaque but not quite, big khaki colored head, spotty lacing

S: Chocolate, coffee, bread

T: A little sweetness, coffee, bitterness. I really expected more sweetness with the coffee and such dark color but it was a little lacking in the sweetness for me.

M: Medium to light

O: I was expecting a much sweeter from such a dark beer. It had some good qualities but just not my favorite.

 

 

 

 

Another new to me Flo-Rida beer, let's give it a whirl. Popping the top I get a nice toasted malt aroma. Pours into a handy nonic pint to an opaque jet black with a creamy tan head. On the taste this brew has a nice mouthfeel up front, taste is roasted malt some smokiness, coffee and a balanced hopping that doesn't cut the sweetness. Aftertaste is both bitter and sweet but balanced between the two. A very soild stout, convenient in the can form. I will obtain again.
