Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout
Breckenridge Brewery | Denver, Colorado USA
Purchased @ Beer & Wine World - Mansfield, Texas USA

Style: Oatmeal Stout

ABV - 4.95%

IBU - 31

Was expecting more from this stout so I’m hoping that future releases are amped up a bit! Poured up a near pitch-black body with a thin bubbly mocha-colored head with somewhat good retention and marginal lacing. Aromas of dark roasted coffee beans, sweet malts and a slight hint of hops; smelt good but the taste was… well… lackadaisical. Starts off with a robust hit of sweet malts and coffee along with some roasted nuts flavoring mixed in. The finish is a bit bland with no really good aftertastes to speak of. Medium-bodied but a bit ‘thin’ when I compare this one with other oatmeal stouts that I have tried in the past.

The intent of this beer review is to spur interest in brands and styles that one may not normally indulge in and to entice them to venture out and try new brews. While some may argue that there are no other beers than Miller, Coors, Bud, and Keystone, this is much akin to arguing which vanilla ice cream tastes the best. There are more brews out there; try some and enjoy the savory adventure.
