Oats bring a creaminess and soft mouth-feel to the roast malt character in our classic oatmeal stout. The Poet is a perfect representation of balance and one of America’s leading oatmeal stouts.

Pours dark brown color with tan head. Aromas of roasted malts and chocolate. Similar flavors. Medium body with moderate carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. Decent, but nothing outstanding.

12 oz. bottle purchased at Oliver’s Beverage Center. No bottle date anywhere. Served in an English pint at nearly room temperature. Mild head retention over a black liquid. Pleasing aroma of dark roasted malts, a touch of sweet caramel and coffee hints. Flavor is initially a sweet chocolate, followed by burnt coffee beans with nice oat flakes, giving the body a kind of chewy texture. Some creaminess on the tongue. Low bitterness but just enough to help balance the sweetness. Nice brew.

Draft: Fudge nose. Mahogany, thin tan head, thorough glass coating. Nice chocolate and coffee interplay, right from the very beginning. Mulberry and elderberry notees appear after that, but it kind of peters out after that. Nice complexity even when sampled much too cold. The berry notes become especially prominent once warm.
