New Holland The Poet Oatmeal Stout: Review

New Holland Brewing
Holland, Michigan, USA


5.2% abv
37 IBU’s
12 bottle

Appearance: black body with maybe a one finger tan head that leaves some light lacing on the glass


Aroma: kind of a mellow nose for a stout; some roasted malt; light coffee; maybe it’s the oatmeal that mellows the bouquet

Flavors: roasted notes; mild charred oak; light-medium roast coffee; 60% like dark chocolate; light hop bitterness

Mouthfeel: a nice semi-creamy style; soft carbonation; light-moderate roasted notes; light-moderate bitterness – that is way I called it 60% like dark chocolate in the flavor; aftertaste: lightly roasted, light sweetness, mild bitterness; medium body;


To the Point: the oatmeal makes this an elegant stout to enjoy; a very easy drinking stout; flavors have a nice depth; the light hops keep things in balance; must buy
