Goose Island Brewing – Goose Island Oatmeal Stout – 12 oz. bottle poured into pint glass, 5% Alc. by Vol.
Appearance: Dark almost black with a small tan head. Head quickly faded.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Smell: Sweet and slight roasted malt aroma. Hints of coffee and chocolate as well as…You guessed it..OATS!!
Taste: Sweet maltiness and a little bit creamy. Taste of oats was pretty apparent. Little bit of roastiness present.
Mouthfeel: Medium to Full bodied, a tad bit thick in the mouth, yet very smooth and creamy.
Drinkability: Overall a very good Oatmeal Stout. Nothing too exciting, but it was certainly not a disappointing beer. It seems there is a lot of competition out there with these types of brews. This was my first brew from Goose Island and it left me pretty excited to sample their other offerings..
