Earl
Coffee and chocolate define this oatmeal stout, which the brewery describes as a silhouette of coffee and malt. American malted barley, flaked oats, English roasted malts, American hops and coffee go in with the house ale yeast and well water. Unfiltered, naturally carbonated, 7.2%. Earl (1911–1985) was Edward's brother, and the beer carries his name in the Ancestral series.
