Brasserie McAuslan's St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout -- Three Beers


This oatmeal stout is a stout for stout lovers. It's fairly thick, with a "mocha-coloured" head. I found it tasty, but not at all oaty -- much more coffee and chocolate to the malt, which the label describes accurately. The thing is, that that's just not my style. It's like drinking cold espresso, or since it's actually pretty sweet for something packed so full of beer, like drinking molasses. That's not to say I didn't like this one, though, just that I don't really like stouts. If I wanted one, I would gladly choose this beer. But be prepared for a real sweet malt if you're going to try it.
