Oatmeal Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep garnet-brown to nearly opaque black, presenting a dense, dark mahogany hue when held to light. A substantial tan head forms and clings persistently to the glass walls with fine Schaumhaftung. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a soft visual texture to the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced cold brew coffee and creamy vanilla notes, supported by substantial roasted grain character from the seven-grain bill. Subtle dark chocolate and hint of dark stone fruit emerge beneath, while Northern Brewer and Fuggles hops contribute restrained spice and mild herbal complexity without dominating the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a vollmundig, silky entry driven by oat-derived smoothness and rich roasted malt sweetness. Mid-palate deepens with vanilla, chocolate, and coffee notes while Nugget and Fuggles hops inject restrained bitterness and spice that balances without harshness. The finish remains malty and slightly sweet, with lingering roasted character and gentle hop grip.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length with persistent roasted grain and vanilla notes tapering gradually. A clean, subtle drying sensation closes the experience without astringency.
