Two Tribes Coal Drops Yard Stout
Oatmeal Stout 5.2 º
This modern Oatmeal Stout presents a harmonious blend of traditional British roasting and contemporary hop character. Deeply roasted malts lead the profile, offering decadent notes of dark chocolate and espresso, while the addition of oatmeal ensures a smooth, silky texture throughout. The defining characteristic is a vibrant dry-hopped burst of Citra, which introduces bright layers of grapefruit and lime that cut through the malty richness. It balances a firm roasted bitterness with a medium-dry finish, making it exceptionally sessionable. The interplay between the nutty, grainy oatmeal backbone and the zesty citrus hop profile creates a complex yet approachable dark ale with a lingering roasted finish.
Appearance. Opaque black (35-40 SRM) with a thick, creamy, and persistent tan-colored head that leaves consistent lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring dominant notes of roasted coffee and dark chocolate. A distinct citrus hop character from the Citra dry-hopping provides bright grapefruit and lime accents. Low grainy-nutty oatmeal notes and a subtle earthy malt sweetness are present in the background.
Taste. Initial impression is roasty with flavors of espresso and unsweetened cocoa. The mid-palate reveals a nutty and grainy oatmeal quality, quickly followed by a citrusy burst of grapefruit and tropical fruit. It possesses a medium bitterness that balances the malty sweetness, finishing medium-dry with a lingering roasty and zesty hop aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a characteristic silky and velvety smoothness derived from the oatmeal. Carbonation is moderate, providing a clean lift to the palate. Very low alcohol warmth is appropriate for its strength, with no notable astringency.
