Pittsfield Brew Works Gerry Dog Oatmeal Stout
 
Pittsfield Massachusetts
    It's hard to brew a bad stout, but not easy to make an exceptionally good one either.  Most brewers call the quality that oatmeal adds to a stout "silky" and this is one that shows why.  Soft and sweet with an increasingly deeper and crisper malt as it drinks, yet holds a silky oatmeal flows underneath it all.  Soft, slightly fruity and very slightly citric hop holds in the aftertaste.  Complex, milky and drinkable.  Ellie: Basic, clean, tasty.
