Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout and Belk's ESB
August, 1999
Two fine brews from this Northern California brewery are now available here in six-packs of 12-ounce bottles in the Northwest, joining the Boont Amber and Hop Ottin' IPA styles on the shelf. The Oatmeal Stout is one of the true classics of the style, soft and very smooth, and the ESB is unusually hoppy and strong (6.8% a.b.v.)
