Arcadia Starboard Stout
Battle Creek, MI
5.8 % ABV
Appearance: Black all the way through, with a thick khaki-colored head that dissipates slowly. Significant lacing. 4.0/5
Smell: Very sweet, strong notes of raisins and oats. Almost porter-like. Slightly astringent. Intriguing and attractive. 4.0/5
Taste: Again, very sweet and slightly astringent. This beer has a malty backbone and a slightly dry finish. Slight hints of cloves and hints of grapes. 4.0/5
Mouthfeel: Moderate-to-thick, drying on the finish, with a moderate carbonation. Pretty much on-the-nose for an Oatmeal Stout. 4.0/5
Drinkability: This is a pretty good oatmeal stout, a bit sweet and astringent for my taste, but definitely drinkable and worth the cost. It gets a bit cloying towards the end, but otherwise quite good. 3.5/5
Overall: 3.95/5
