Oatmeal Stout 10 º 60 IBU

Fermentage
Passarola Brewing
Catraio - Craft Beer Shop & Bar

This Imperial Stout, a celebratory collaboration between Fermentage, Passarola, and Catraio, presents a commandingly dark profile. It pours jet black with a dense, mocha-colored head, releasing intense aromas of espresso, bittersweet chocolate, and dark fruit notes akin to dried figs and raisins. On the palate, the 10% ABV provides a velvety, warming backdrop to layers of heavily roasted grain and a firm bitterness. The texture is luscious and full-bodied, carrying complex flavors of black licorice and charred malt into a long, bittersweet finish. It is a harmonious, powerful tribute to a decade of craft beer that feels both timeless and sophisticated.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). A thick, persistent dark tan head leaves significant lacing on the glass. High viscosity is evident through slow-moving legs when the glass is swirled.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by rich roasted malts suggesting dark chocolate, cocoa, and heavy-roast coffee. Secondary notes of dark fruit esters—specifically prunes and raisins—mesh with a subtle, clean alcohol warmth and a low, earthy hop presence.

Taste. The initial impression is a massive wave of bittersweet chocolate and espresso. Complex malt flavors include toasted bread and black licorice. Firm bitterness balances the residual sweetness. The finish is long and warming with a lingering charred grain character and a touch of dark fruit.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is moderate-low, enhancing the beer's weight. A smooth, noticeable alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, avoiding any harsh solvent notes.
