Apex
Apex is an oatmeal stout at 6.5 per cent with a heavy malt bill: flaked Irish oats alongside chocolate, brown and roasted malts. Freshly roasted coffee and milk chocolate dominate the taste, and the oats give a creamy smoothness with a slight sweetness. The bitterness is modest at 25 IBU, so the roast stays rounded. Titan and Sorachi Ace are the hops, a full-flavoured stout throughout.
