A new bottled offering from Rush River, and a beer I'd only had before on tap at other establishments, and hadn't really taken the time to make note of it. So, notes from a bottle...
"Rush River Nevermore Chocolate Oatmeal Stout, stout with natural cocoa flavors. Small batch series, unfiltered, unpasteurized." 12 ounce bottle
Fully ebon in appearance, roasted tan head.
Bittersweet nose, roasty-toasty, with cocoa notes below. Getting louder as we go. Very nice.
Taste: Mmmm, good and chocolatey. Starts cocoa and stays cocoa, fading ever gently in the finish. Oatmeal gives it sleek smoothness, very easy on the palate. Very even-tempered, initial sweetness is matched with some bitter, and glides right down.
Alcohol 8 % by vol. Bit of a surprise, there, and it's not easily detected, until…oh, here it comes.
A great beer from Rush River that may change some minds about this under-appreciated brewery.
