The United Steaks

Last night we tasted the Oatmeal Porter from Highland Brewing in Asheville, NC for the first time. It was delicious. An oatmenal stout can be overwhelming at times, and thankfully that’s not the case here.

A unique Highland creation, this robust beer is black in color, very malty with hints of chocolate-roasted flavor and a well balanced hop character.

IBU: 32
Alcohol content: 5.8% by volume
Hops: Chinook, Willamette and Cascade
