Catamount Brewing Company - Catamount Oatmeal Stout

Catamount’s Oatmeal stout is brewed with a complex combination of two row pale, caramel, black patent, and roasted barley malts as well as Vermont-grown organic, rolled oats. True to style, the brewery uses only cluster hops at the beginning of the 90 min. boil so that the smooth roasted notes are not masked by an aggressive hop profile. Immediately note a very pleasant, dark roasted character in this stout’s nose. Look for great head retention in this medium-bodied, clear, dark-brown brew. Note a chocolate-malt sweetness balanced nicely with a lingering roasted dryness that finishes with hints of coffee. The oatmeal lends a distinctively smooth, silky body and a thick, creamy head to this classic style. Overall, a very flavorful & rich stout with enough sweetness to provide a balanced profile. Perfect after a meal!
