Blue Moon Cappuccino Oatmeal Stout

Blue Moon, as a pretend craft beer (it's always been owned by Miller-Coors, unlike existing crafts later bought out by the big kids) has had a mixed record with beer styles - some are top of the line, others are bottom of the barrel. The Cappuccino Oatmeal Stout is one of the better ones. Pouring a deep, dark brown with a one-finger head, this is a good representation of an oatmeal stout, thick and creamy. The coffee flavor predominates, but there are also some less evident chocolate and caramel notes. At only 10 IBU's the hop character is subdued at best. If you're a stout fan, you'll enjoy this.
