Arbor Breakfast Stout
Breakfast Stout is a strong oatmeal stout and one of the oldest beers still in the Arbor range, made for well over a decade. The brewery describes it as silky smooth with notes of coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Oats and wheat give a dense, velvety body, roasted malt adds a dry cocoa bitterness and a hint of dark toast in the finish. Sweetness is present but held in check by the roast, and the alcohol shows only as a gentle warmth.
