I decided to take a brief break from the IPAs and go with something a little bolder. So, off to the garage I went to see what I had in a little darker variety. Upon scanning the various bottles waiting to be tasted, I decided that since I had a great drinking experience with both their Christmas Ale & Lucky U IPA that I would grab for a Breckenridge Brewery’s Oatmeal Stout. Darker indeed!
Breckenridge Brewery classifies this brew as a Specialty Stout and their website describes Oatmeal Stout as “Rich, round and roasted, our Oatmeal Stout is satisfaction in a glass. It's a bold, smooth-bodied concoction that oozes dark-roasted coffee aromas and flavors of espresso and semi-sweet chocolate. We round out these heady pleasures with a dose of flaked oatmeal for a creamy body and a semi-dry finish.”
This beer pours a dark chocolate color with little to no head but enough to make out that if it was a hearty head that it was tan in color and a sweet chocolate/roasted malt aroma with a 4.95% ABV.
The website describes this beer perfectly. This beer exceeded my expectations and could not be more balanced and flavorful. If you are a stout lover then this beer is right up your alley. If not, then you are surely missing one of the better stouts out there that I have had. If you don’t know if you like stouts or never tried one…then this would be a great one to start with due to its balanced flavor. Thanks again Breckenridge Brewery…your brews are delicious!!
ABV: 4.95%
Consumed: Imperial Pint
Verdict: Buy A Twelve Pack
