Beer Tasting : Erie Brewing Drake's Crude Oatmeal Stout
Drake's Crude is an oatmeal stout brewed by Erie Brewing Company of Erie, Pennsylvania. This bottle was purchased from Fathead's in Pittsburgh, PA.
Have you tasted this beer? Let us know what you think. As a suggestion, try to keep the review as brief as possible for each of the following: appearance; smell; taste; mouthfeel; and drinkability.
Appearance
Adam: dark, like molases with a brown ring
Bryan: pours almost like a crude oil (ha!) with just a bit of caramel-colored big bubbled head
Smell
Adam: grain, malt
Bryan: full nose of barley and just a touch of alcohol to the nose
Taste
Adam: sweet; bowl of oatmeal; very good
Bryan: full of sweet and rich goodness; just a barely perceptible hop flavor
Mouthfeel
Adam: substantial
Bryan: full, smooth, but not overbearing
Drinkability
Adam: nothing at all objectionable
Bryan: very drinkable for a hefty stout
Seconds?
Adam: thirds!!!
Bryan: oh yeah, no doubt
