small batch oatmeal brown ale

A whole host of wonderful things can be made from oatmeal, chocolate, and a handful of other ingredients. For example, oat biscuits with a melt-in-the-mouth chocolate core. Or juicy apple crumble with chocolate sprinkles. However, what we always prefer to sweet pastries is beer. And that too can be wonderfully flavored with oatmeal and a touch of chocolate. For their Oatmeal Brown Ale, however, the brewers at Moosehead did not use chocolate, but fine chocolate malt. This special malt is made from dark-roasted barley and conjures up full-bodied notes of delicately melting chocolate and hints of coffee in the beer. Combined with the non-slip texture and the gentle taste of the oats, this results in a robust beer specialty that every sweet tooth should like.

Mooseheads Oatmeal Brown Ale brings a whopping 5.7% ABV and a deep mahogany brown to the glass. The tinted foam crown exudes an earthy scent of toasted malt and cocoa. The taste profile is made up of soft roasted malt notes, delicately melting chocolate and the aroma of oven-fresh oatmeal biscuits. A touch of hops and a smooth, silky mouthfeel round off the enjoyment and make the dark ale an absolute pleasure.

Anyone looking for a change for their Sunday coffee break should try this beer - it pairs beautifully with pastries and cakes and ends the weekend in style!
