Beer Only Newsletter

Let’s start with something somewhat easy:

What is a “stout” beer? A stout is a dark beer made using roasted malt or barley, hops, water & yeast.  Stouts were traditionally the generic term for the strongest beers, typically 7 or 8%.  There are all kinds of different stouts - dry, Irish, Imperial, Milk, Oatmeal, Chocolate, Oyster, Coffee, etc.

Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast: Brewed in Norway.  Oatmeal and coffee may not be the most balanced breakfast, but in the beer world, this is balance to the extreme. A wonderful blend of an oatmeal and coffee stout, this is a great beer to have any morning! Incredibly rich and full bodied, but still amazingly balanced.

Malts used — pale, oat, smoked, caramunich, brown, pale chocolate and chocolate.
