Beer-a-Day #87
What an unusual combination. Oatmeal stout is one of my favorite styles, but fruit beers are a bit of hit-or-miss.
Inky dark with a tan head. The blueberries in the aroma are subtle, with chocolate roastiness underneath. It’s not overly sweet; the blueberries provide more sourness than sweetness. The acid from the fruit seems to counteract that smoothness I should be getting from the oatmeal. It’s okay, but I don’t much feel the need to revisit it.
This is a welcome change; I have tried blueberry beers before out of curiosity and was disappointed because of the sweetness. If this beer is more sour than sweet I will try and find a few of them. Thanks!
