Ommegang Brewery
Cooperstown, New York
Oatmeal Stout
5.3% abv
12 oz bottle
$12.99 a four pack
Take this beer out of the fridge and let it sit for 20 – 30 minutes
to warm up. When too cold the aromas and
flavors are muted.
Appearance: black body with a nice big mocha brown head;
nice spotty lacing on the glass.
Aroma: to me – typical of an oatmeal stout, soft with light
roasted notes
Flavors: dark roasted grains; medium roast coffee; 70% dark
chocolate like notes
Mouthfeel: medium, medium-full for a stout; soft on the
palate; low carbonation a very light
tingle on the mid and late; dark roasted
notes build with each sip; pleasing and easy to drink, after taste slowly
builds – not much on the first few sips and about halfway through the bottle
the dark roasted grains linger a bit
To the Point: a nice oatmeal stout; I don’t know if I want
to spend 13 bucks for a four pack for ‘nice;’ I like Founders Breakfast Stout
better – had one last night and coffee and chocolate notes were big and bold
