Double Oat Stout
Holy Goat Brewing

 

 

 

Poured into a Reuben's Brew small snifter. Pours a very dark mahogany brown, appearing nearly opaque in the glass with a quarter finger light khaki head that dissipates to patches with light lacing. Aroma of dark toasted malt, bakers chocolate, coffee and light nuts. Flavor follows, with dark toasted malt with slight char, bakers chocolate, drip coffee and filberts; a slight wild yeast note in the finish. Medium bodied with moderate creaminess; nice mouth feel. A solid oatmeal stout from this Scottish brewery. Pleasant, balanced coffee and dry chocolate flavors and a hint of farmhouse yeast in the finish. Excellent creamy mouthfeel I expect from an oatmeal stout. This brewery talks a lot about brett and naturally yeasted brews, so I thought this might be wilder tasting. It does have a slight hint of unusual yeast, but only enough to be interesting. It is a straightforward integrated oatmeal stout hitting on all cylinders.
