HOPIQ TAKE

Hauling Oats if you want to ease into the evening with something sessionable and smooth, Tractor Double Plow if you want a heavier, more substantial stout that'll stick with you. Both clock the same IBU at 30, so bitterness isn't the differentiator—it's all about that 1.8% ABV gap and what it does to the body and finish. Hauling Oats feels like a deliberate sipper, while Tractor Double Plow demands your attention.

TASTING NOTES

Hauling Oats Oatmeal Stout

RoastedSmoothRich

Hauling Oats slides down clean with a soft, almost creamy mouthfeel that the oats deliver without any graininess. There's a mild cocoa edge and just enough roast character to remind you it's a stout, but nothing aggressive—it stays in the background. At 5.7%, it doesn't weigh you down; you can actually taste the complexity instead of just feeling the alcohol.

Tractor Double Plow Oatmeal Stout

RoastedSmoothChocolate

Tractor Double Plow hits different. That extra 1.8% ABV pushes the body into heavier territory, and you feel the oatmeal's role more prominently—creamy but substantial, almost velvety. The roast gets darker, more pronounced, with hints of burnt sugar and coffee that linger. It's the kind of stout that makes you slow down between sips.
