Spitting Feathers Oatmeal Stout

◎ Aussehen

Jet black in color with minimal light transmission, presenting a dense and stable tan head that clings persistently to the glass. The surface shows fine carbonation and structured lacing, while the body appears opaque and full-bodied, characteristic of the oatmeal stout style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with deep roasted malt and cocoa notes from the hand-roasted cacao nibs, complemented by subtle vanilla undertones from the whole vanilla pods. Challenger and Fuggles hops contribute gentle herbal and earthy notes, while flaked oats add a soft, grain-forward sweetness without dominating the profile.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full and velvety, driven by silky oatmeal texture and layered roasted character. Mid-palate reveals chocolate and vanilla complexity, with moderate bitterness from the Challenger hops providing balance against the residual sweetness. The finish carries lingering cocoa and a dry, slightly astringent edge.

◑ Abgang

Medium-length finish with chocolate and cocoa persistence. The aftertaste dries cleanly, leaving a subtle roasted grain character and gentle herbal note from the Fuggles hops.
