Oatmeal Stout 6.5 º 30 IBU

Viralata
Barbudo Growler

This collaborative Oatmeal Stout pours with a luxurious, velvety texture derived from a generous addition of oats. The sensory profile is dominated by a sophisticated interplay of dark roasted malts, artisanal coffee, and rich cacao. Aromatic notes of espresso and dark chocolate nibs lead into a palate that balances medium-sweet maltiness with a firm, roasty bitterness. The oats provide an oily slickness and a nutty, grainy depth that rounds out the robust 6.5% ABV. It finishes with a lingering coffee-and-cream impression, showcasing a harmonious blend of specialty ingredients and traditional dark British malt character.

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

Aroma. High intensity featuring prominent freshly roasted coffee and dark chocolate cacao notes. Medium grainy-nutty oatmeal aroma supports a base of roasted malts. Low earthy hop notes and subtle plum-like fruitiness.

Taste. Initial impression of rich dark chocolate and espresso. Malt-forward with toasty-nutty and grainy oatmeal flavors. Medium bitterness from roasted grains and coffee is balanced by a medium-sweet malt core. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering roasted bean and cocoa aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a smooth, velvety, and almost oily slickness from the oatmeal. Moderate carbonation with a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth at 6.5% ABV.
