Oatmeal Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep garnet-brown to nearly black, with a dense crumb-like head that clings persistently to the glass. The body is opaque and full, with minimal light penetration typical of the style. Fine carbonation supports a tight Schaumkleiden that speaks to careful conditioning.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted coffee and cocoa—both pronounced and integrated rather than artificial. Beneath lies a soft maltiness with hints of dark plum and molasses. The cold-pressed coffee and roasted cocoa nibs contribute a clean, artisanal quality without astringency.

◐ Taste

The palate opens creamy and smooth, with chocolate and coffee flavours arriving together in the mid-palate. The oat component softens the structure, lending body without heaviness. Bitterness is restrained at 30 IBU—present enough to define the finish but never harsh, allowing the roasted and malty characters to remain central.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with coffee tannins fading into a lingering cocoa warmth. At 4.4 % ABV, the aftertaste remains light and refreshing despite the dark character.
