The Poet Oatmeal Stout

Brewer: New Holland Brewing
ABV: 5.2%
IBU:
Serving Type: 12 oz. bottle poured into an English pub glass

Dark brown with a finger of light brown head. Just a few hints of ruby highlighting with a bright light behind. An aroma like lightly roasted coffee with tons of cream, and a side of instant oatmeal.

Taste follows the nose with notes of coffee and toasted and roasted malts. A touch of bitter chocolate. Mouthfeel is medium-heavy, but not too heavy, and oh so creamy. Decent carbonation.

This is one of my go-to beers. Great flavors, not too heavy, and light enough in alcohol to drink a pair.

My score: 5/5
Beer Advocate: B+
Rate Beer: 94
Pintley: 3.7/5
