Manchester Brewing – Conspiracy Theory Oatmeal Stout
THE POUR:
Black, heavy and thick.
THE AROMA:
Heavy coffee sent, with a slight burnt smell. A hint of caramel malt. Good head retention, even after a second swirl!
THE TASTE:
Heavy on the coffee flavor with some bitterness to be expected accompanied by roasted cocoa. A very heavy stout, not sweet like a milk stout but rather much more hearty. Robust flavor and better served after a meal as a desert.
THE DECISION:
A very dark robust stout. A faint burnt taste and smell in the initial sniff and taste. But after the original surprise of you drinking a heavy brew. The taste starts to grow on you. I would recommended this beer to a veteran craft beer drinker!
THE GRADE: B-, C
