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. Pours a black body with a coffee tan head. Chewy malty driven body with subtle oat notes, chewy caramel and chocolate malt with a moderate warming. Rounds out with a sweet but bitter coffee note. Great!

The final beer tasted on Oatmeal Stout Saturday Night (outscores Breckenridge and Goose Island). Bomber - pours a rich dark brown with a tiny but dense dark tan head. Smells of chocolate, licorice, raisins, cream, and alcohol. Flavor matches with a pronounced sweetness and toasted oatmeal notes. Medium-rich in body, with an oily cling and long-lasting aftertaste.

Very solid imperial stout. Long aftertaste and strong nose make this what it is. Little head. Nice bitterness.

65 cl bottle, shared with Roger and Atle. Black color, moderate brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, with the usual hints of coffee and chocolate. Flavor is coffee, chocolate, oily, fine bitterness. Like cream in your mouth. Very nice.

ST hops are tannic and upfront on the silky-rich deep grainy sweetness. Aroma is roast and cereal sugars. Very dark brown with a trace of brown cap. Winey alcohol presence. This oat stout is rather sweet at cellar temperature. Oily sweet feel. A bit of rich coffee and syrupy chocolate candy, commercial licorice,. Interesting.
