Silvery is a sophisticated Oatmeal Stout that pushes boundaries by incorporating Rye and oysters. The sensory experience begins with a bouquet of roasted coffee and dark chocolate, underscored by the spicy, peppery character of Rye. The addition of oysters imparts a faint, mineral salinity that sharpens the roasty edges, creating a unique savory-sweet balance. On the palate, the malted oats deliver a signature silky, full-bodied texture that carries flavors of cocoa and toasted grain. This 7% ABV brew concludes with a smooth, lingering roast and a whisper of oceanic complexity, offering a multifaceted take on a classic dark style.
