Oatmeal Stout 6.8 º 20 IBU

FIRST Craft Beer

Dark Oats is a decadent Oatmeal Stout that balances intensity with a luxuriously smooth texture. It pours as dark as midnight, releasing rich aromas of Roasted Barley and sweet milk chocolate. The heavy addition of oats creates a remarkably thick, creamy body that coats the palate in a silky, almost oily embrace. At 6.8% ABV, this interpretation offers a gentle alcohol warmth that enhances the deep flavors of coffee-and-cream and toasted grains. The finish is plush and lingering, showcasing a masterfully integrated sweetness that supports the bold roasted character without becoming cloying, resulting in a soul-warming sensory experience.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). It features a thick, persistent, tan-colored head with a dense, creamy texture and excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity with a dominant character of roasted grains and milk chocolate. Moderate malty sweetness gives a coffee-and-cream impression, accompanied by low dark fruit esters and a subtle, grainy-nutty oatmeal scent. Hop aroma is nearly absent.

Taste. The initial impression is rich and sweet, lead by flavors of dark chocolate and roasted coffee. The oats provide a distinct toasty-nutty and grainy mid-palate. Bitterness is medium and well-balanced against the malt. The finish is medium-sweet and lingering with a clean, roasty aftertaste that avoids harshness.

Mouthfeel. Full body with a notably smooth, silky, and velvety texture from the heavy oatmeal addition. Carbonation is moderate. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the overall richness without being solventy.
