Summit Brewing Co Summit Oatmeal Stout
What the brewers say
“Notes of hazelnut, caramel, chocolate. Sharp and sweet with a more robust finish.”
What our panel thought
“Rich chocolate aroma, clean, with no esters. Body is a touch thin for an oatmeal stout. Perhaps it’s just high carbonation giving a thinner perception. Flavors are smooth, without excessive roast, and the oats convey a unique earthiness. Medium bitterness doesn’t linger.”
What our editors thought
“Toasty, nutty malt notes in the nose with a bit of caramel relief. Light on the palate with vaguely fruity blonde roast coffee notes and a palpable dark malt acidity.”
