Old English Stout by Duncan's Brewing is a classic oatmeal stout that delivers a deep, robust flavor and a rich, velvety mouthfeel. Pouring a deep, opaque black with a thick, creamy tan head, this stout offers an aroma of roasty, malty notes with hints of chocolate, coffee, and burnt toast, along with subtle undertones of licorice, toffee, and dark fruits like blackberries and plums. The flavor is full-bodied and chewy, with a sweet and roasty balance. Predominant flavors of chocolate, coffee, and caramel are complemented by subtle notes of licorice, vanilla, and earthy hops, while a medium-high bitterness helps to balance the sweetness. The smooth, velvety mouthfeel is enhanced by a medium-high carbonation that provides a gentle prickle on the tongue. The finish is long and lingering, with persistent flavors of chocolate, coffee, and roasted grain, and a mild warmth from the 5.0% ABV. Overall, Old English Stout is a satisfying and flavorful brew that captures the essence of a traditional English stout, making it a perfect choice for sipping on a chilly evening.
