Glass Of The Month, eh?



Beer Name: McAuslan Stout (#193)
Style: Oatmeal Stout
Country: Canada
Size: 16 oz draft, January Glass Of The Month
ABV: 5.0
From the book:
This oatmeal stout brewed by McAuslan Brewery in Canada is a World Beer Championship platinum medal winning beer. Black in the glass with a thick off-tan foam, coffee, espresso and chocolate are the dominant aromas. Coffee flavors are noted from start to finish with a slight hops presence that gets pushed around by the big roasted character of this beer.

This is a beer from last week still, I am lazy I guess. I didn't plan on having 3 dark beers in a row, but this was the glass of the month, and I am drinking all of those during the tour, so I didn't want to risk not getting the glass. As the book says, this has a very dominant coffee flavor that I enjoyed. This brewery must know what oatmeal stout is all aboot! (had too, sorry!)

7/10
