Oatmeal Stout: Jackpot, Beer! – December 8, 2006
“Oh man! Jackpot beer.” Those words just popped out of my mouth after I had my first taste of my Oatmeal stout. The brew turned out in perfect form, with good bottle carbonation, nice but fleeting head retention, beautiful belgium lace, and all that good roasty flavor. There are some mild fruity notes, characteristic of the Munton’s dry yeast that I used, that go so well with the coffee/chocolate aftertaste. All in all, this beer is in balance; the biterness is just right. This oatmeal stout came out with a slightly lighter body that I was hoping for, a fact that simply makes this an even easier drinking beer. I am excited to share this one with friends and family. I am even more excited to brew it again.
