Oatmeal Stout East Coast Edition 2018

From Scotland’s Black Isle and its Black Isle Brewing Co. comes Oatmeal Stout East Coast Edition 2018. This beefy 9.5% imperial stout comes in 330mL bottles. It’s a dark ale topped with a tan head and it boasts a powerful aroma rich in raisin, brown sugar, and malt notes.

This jumbo oatmeal stout has a malt-first configuration. It kicks off with sweet and boozy warmth and a bit of woodiness. The back end is more bitter than I expected, with a slightly smoky tang.

Strong, yet balanced, this Scottish stout is a beauty.

Rating: 9.0 out of 10.
