Fulton Chocolate Oatmeal Milk Stout

Fulton Chocolate Oatmeal Milk Stout.
5.5 % ABV. 25 IBU.
Fulton Beer, Minneapolis, MN.

Final bottle from the Fulton sampler pack.

Pitch black, fully opaque, slim brown head.

In the nose: cocoa and cream, semi-sweet, very inviting.

In the mouth: Slight bitterness, very smooth, light roast. Medium bodied, easy-drinking. Long lasting cocoa flavors. Delightful stuff. Good oatmeal chocolate milk stout, and you can certainly drink it.

Built on a backbone of Pilsner and Marris Otter, this stout showcases the flavor and complexity of 9 different varieties of malted barley and oats.  We used oats for over a quarter of the malt bill and added a touch of lactose to the kettle to create a full bodied, smooth stout while still coming in at just 5.5% ABV for easy drinkability. Northern Brewer hops were used with restraint in order to allow the malts shine through. After fermentation, we "dry-hopped" this beer with cacao nibs from Ghana. These particular cacao nibs were selected because they impart a milk chocolate/nutty/coconut flavor. Our Nitro Chocolate Oatmeal Milk Stout is an exceptionally smooth, chocolatey, malty milk stout that's exclusive in this form to our taproom.
