Wolaver’s Organic Oatmeal Stout
Middlebury, VT
From The Brewery
This full flavored stout imparts hints of coffee, chocolate, and roasted flavors. It is brewed with an ample supply of locally grown organic rolled oats.
ABV:5.9%
Review
Appearance: A black, dense beer – opaque with a thin, solid white to tan head. Nice lacing – not excessive.
Smell: Big roast and oat sweetness – smells heavy.
Taste: Rich and smooth – rolled oats, bakers chocolate, and mild milk sweetness, ending in a larger then expected dose of hops. It has a lingering, drying cocoa finish. A complex, rich, full flavored meal in a glass.
Mouthfeel: Creamy smooth and viscous – right on target.
Drinkability: Dangerously high – the 5.9% ABV can sneak up on you.
Notes: I have never had a bad beer in the Wolaver’s lineup. I am a big fan of roasty rich beers, and this is one of the good ones. Comes highly recommended.
