The Offering: Belfast Bay McGovern's Oatmeal Stout. Maine USA

ABV: 5.1%

I had my good friend the praying mantis to drink this with. Nothing like having a cold brew outside on a warm night. This brew is all sorts of dark and roasty. From nose to finish you get dark roasted malts with heavy notes of coffee and chocolate. There is an impressively bitter mid palate where the hops overpower the malts for a split second. Then back to the roasted malts with a slight tartness before the finish. The brew is pretty dry overall without the sweetness that some stouts have. Worth trying if it sounds good but I probably won't get it again.

Points: 84
