415. Scarlet Lane Brewing Company (McCordsville, IN) - Dorian Oatmeal Cream Pie Stout

“Oatmeal stout with lactose, dark brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, and clove.”

They include pictures of actual Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies on their website-that-shall-not-be-named post about this beer, but they don’t say anything about actual Oatmeal Cream Pies in the mash (and I didn’t think to ask while we were there yesterday). With that list of ingredients, though, I suspect they’re just trying to approximate the flavor. They don’t quite get there, but it’s an interesting effect—not nearly as heavy or sweet as the brown sugar and molasses might lead you to believe, with much more of a spice flavor than you get in an Oatmeal Cream Pie. Not great, but not bad.
