Red Racer Oatmeal Stout – Central City Brewing, 4.2% ABV – 341ml., (Surrey, BC, Canada)
on the back label:
“This Smooth Irish-Style stout is deep, dark and full bodied. The use of oatmeal in the mashtun adds silkiness to the texture and body in this ale. Roasted barley, as well as pale, black, chocolate and crystal malts round off one of our richest creations to date. Cheers!”
