Oatmeal Stout 8.3 º 45 IBU

Roak Brewing Co.

Roak Brewing Co.’s Devil Dog is a robust and bold Oatmeal Stout that pushes the style’s boundaries with a high-gravity presence. The strategic use of Chocolate malts drives a rich sensory experience defined by layers of nutty chocolate and deeply roasted coffee. Rolled oats are essential to the profile, imparting a luxurious, velvety texture and a faint grainy sweetness that rounds out the roast. Despite its strength, the beer remains smooth, balancing its dark malt intensity with a decadent, creamy character. Expect a complex interplay of cocoa-driven sweetness and a clean, warming finish that elevates this dark ale into a powerful, comforting expression.

Appearance. Opaque black (40 SRM) with a thick, creamy, and persistent tan-colored head that exhibits excellent lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring prominent milk chocolate and roasted coffee beans. A light grainy-nutty oatmeal scent is present, complemented by low dark fruit esters and a clean fermentation profile devoid of hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression of bittersweet chocolate and espresso. The malt profile is rich, showcasing nutty chocolate and toasted grain. Medium bitterness balances the malty sweetness, leading to a lingering, roasty finish that is medium-sweet to medium-dry. Low earthy hop flavor is secondary to the dominant roasted grains.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied with a smooth, velvety, and silky texture derived from the oatmeal. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the bold character without being harsh.
