COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
“brewed for the harvest” This beer begins in spring when oat seeds are sown as soon as the soil can be worked. Meanwhile, select types of barley are planted with hopes that Mother Nature will be kind. Our brewers wait patiently until the legumes are mature and ready for the scythe. Upon delivery to the brewery, these ingredients are mixed together in the mash tun where they steep, creating a rich molasses-like liquid. Spicy hops are boiled with the thick brew, giving balance and complexity. Brewers yeast feasts upon the rich sugars, concluding its transformation into oatmeal stout. Pour Oat into a snifter, allow its thick tan head to slowly rise, releasing unbridled aromas. The color of Oat is as dark as a moonless night. The first sip reveals Oat’s thick and nourishing taste. Like a haversack to a horse, a bottle of this stout is a meal in itself. Enjoy responsibly. 11.0% abv • 238º L

Bottle. Chocolate and oat malt aroma. Dark black with minimal head. Very sweet chocolate syrup and oat malt flavor. Bitter herbal finish. Okay but very sweet.

jhgrantjr (295) - Tennessee, USA - JAN 20, 2013

Poured from a bottle, very dark brown, almost black, with a small light tan head. Aroma of coffee, oats, chocolate, roasted malts. Taste is smooth, semi-sweet with a slight coffee-type bitterness. But finish is sweet and creamy. This is one of my favorite oatmeal stouts. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Holmen1 (1079) - NORWAY - JAN 16, 2013

Fra flaske på ratingkollaps hos Ole Anders: det er slikt man har dårlige venner for, snakk om smaksopplevelse! So smooth and creamy. Lite aroma, men du verden for en smak - kveldens største munnfylde. Mørk karamell, Freias Dronningsjokolade og de luxe moccabønner. O salige stund.
