Can from LCBO named Oatmeal Stout. Strong roasted accents, intense roasting on light notes of meat ensure a rather standard olfactory. Black and opaque with a medium foam collar and medium density that holds moderately well. The first taste impressions are creamy, rich, with a well feeled roasting, slight notes of caramel and oats in support. Its ample body supports notes of chocolate cake with little sugar. The sugars are present but discreet and easily blend into a silky and somewhat greasy texture. Medium complexity, this stout is quite acceptable. Cannette de la LCBO nommée Oatmeal Stout. Forts accents rôtis, torréfaction intense sur de légères notes de viande assurent un olfactif plutôt standard. Noire et opaque avec un col de mousse moyen et de densité moyenne qui se maintient moyennement bien. Les premières impressions en bouche sont crémeuses, riches, avec une torréfaction bien sentie et de légères notes de caramel et de l’avoine en support. Son corps ample soutient des notes de gâteau au chocolat avec très peu de sucre. Les sucres sont présents mais discrets et se confondent facilement dans une texture soyeuse et quelque peu grassette. De complexité moyenne, cette stout est tout à fait acceptable. O:6.521 V:3.884 G:6.959 B:4.585 O:16.313 T:38.262
