Oatis

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to near-black in the glass, with an opaque, impenetrable body that speaks to roasted grain and oat content. A dense, tan head forms readily and clings to the glass with persistent lacing. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a soft, creamy visual character.

◌ Aroma

Cocoa and roasted malt dominate the nose, with a subtle coffee undertone that emerges after the first impression. A gentle earthiness from Nugget hops rounds out the profile without asserting herbaceous notes. The oat character manifests as a soft, grainy sweetness that balances the roasted aromatics.

◐ Taste

Chocolate and roasted malt arrive immediately, building into a creamy, oat-driven mid-palate that feels velvety on the tongue. Coffee notes blend seamlessly with the malt backbone, while 50 IBU of bitterness emerges cleanly without harshness, providing structure without aggression. The 7% ABV sits comfortably in the background, warming rather than heating.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and medium in length, with roasted grain and chocolate lingering gently on the palate. A faint coffee dryness closes the experience without leaving sharp edges, inviting another sip.
