Name – Highland Oatmeal Porter
Country – United States
Type – American Porter
Appearance – Poured a dark brown with some red hues around the edges of the glass. A nice white head but was gone rather quickly.
Smell – The smell was really hard to pick up. All the scents were very minimal. There was a slight milk chocolate smell with some roasted notes but again they were really hard to get. Some might find other smells in there. I didn’t
Taste – Very light on the body and little sweet chocolate taste and a small roasted background to it. Nothing intense but also not that stood out.
I had Highland’s Gaelic Ale at a pub beer and wasn’t impressed at all with it. But I spotted this one on the shelf and thought I’d give it a try. I was quite a deal disappointed. I didn’t get much in the way of smell or flavor with it. After trying it I read some reviews on how some people loved it and it has a nice bold taste. I just didn’t get that in either bottle I had. Unless the whole batch was bad I just can’t see it.
Overall Grade – D
