Coffee Oatmeal Stout
Cape Cod Beer

 

 

 

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a dark brown almost black color with a frothy off white foamy head that quickly dissipates leaving some super light stringy lace. The aroma had some coffee beans, milk chocolate with a light lactose/creamy sweetness. The flavor is basically the same as the aroma with a light lingering sweet creamy to chocolatey aftertaste with a wet sweet finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. Smooth silky feel. ABV seems on par. Overall, good milk/sweet stout as is. But is there supposed to be oatmeal in this? I don’t know, I never tasted or smelled any of it.

Pours a deep dark brown/black with a beautiful khaki brown head about one finger high. The nose is a of coffee roast, however it is faint. Was hoping for a little more pop on the nose from the Vienna Roast. Taste is smooth creamy and absolutely delicious. The oatmeal complements the coffee and creates a wonderful blend of the two. Overall I enjoyed this beer a lot, the coffee adds another dynamic to the oatmeal stout and on a snowy day makes for a great companion.
