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.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Summit Brewing Co Summit Oatmeal Stout

“Aroma hides behind a massive, creamy head initially but opens to a pleasant hoppy, almost fruity, character. Coffee/roast up front with a tart cherry note on the finish. Soft herbal/minty hops with low notes of pine.”

Upslope Brewing Company - Flatiron Park Oatmeal Stout

“Malt aroma medium-strong, roasted with some chocolate, coffee. Chocolate and dark-roasted malt balance nicely in the flavor. A pleasant nutty, toffee malt character mid-palate. Firm bitterness balanced by medium body, a light sweetness. Some lingering astringency in the dry mineral finish.”

Idle Hands Craft Ales Raspberry Torte

“Roast malt, dark chocolate, and coffee notes punctuated by an earthy nondescript berry note in the nose. Expresses as tart, underripe raspberry in the sip, accentuating the dryness and bitterness of both the roasted malt and hops. Light vanilla-like sweetness in the finish.”
