Green Flash Stout

We have found yet another great brewing company based in California (who would have guessed), but this one actually ships out to the East coast so we decided to try one of their better rated beers first. And its a stout, of course.

This brew pours black with a thin off-white head and pretty decent lacing. The aroma is of sweet roasted barley with hints of oatmeal, toffee, and bitter sweetness. The taste is pretty normal for a stout and is of dry chocolate with a bitter sweet oatmeal finish. Overall its a very good beer and a good example of what an oatmeal styled stout should be, but nothing amazing or new. Hopefully we'll be able to find another brew from Green Flash with a little more zing, maybe a Belgian Ale or ESB. Stay tuned.

Appearance - 4.0
Smell - 3.9
Taste - 3.9
Texture - 3.9
Overall - 3.93/5
