Beer Advent Calendar 2015 - December 7th

The stouts must be in season or something...yesterday's beer was an 8% oatmeal stout courtesy of Mikkeller, today's beer is a 9% oatmeal stout courtesy of Brewdog.

So I guess we'll have a stout-off.

Brewdog - Hinterland
Hinterland would appear to be the complete opposite of Beer geek breakfast brunch big blend (BGBBBB, to save me typing that over and over) - I opened the bottle to be greeted by stillness, and there was very little foaming at all until I started to get a bit aggressive with the pour.

It's incredibly smooth.  The roasted flavours are soft and mellow, helped along by the sumptuous (yes, I'm like an M&S advert) malty backbone.  The rest of the flavours you can probably guess - coffee, dark chocolate, fruits.

Brewdog definitely wins this stout-off.
