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

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of coffee, soy sauce, and caramel. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of alcohol, as well as medium notes of oatmeal, coffee, roasted malt, and caramel, leading to a dry finish, where the alcohol burns the throat. Nice.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of kmweaver. Pours a clear, warm, dark brown with a reddish hue and a creamy, light brown head. Fat, vinous aroma - almost port like with some raisiny notes. Very full-bodied, this pours thick and sirupy. Loads of hard roasted malts, licorice and dried fruit. Rather subdued bitterness. Lovely indeed. 021107

Bottled, thanks kmweaver! Almost black with minimal head. Loads of molasses and chocolate, followed by tar and licorice. Very sweet and thick with massive body, gets cloying and edgy with lots of alcohol coming through. An unbalanced mess.

From bottle, blind tasting at Papsoes - beer no 7. Pours dark brown to black with a diminished light brown head. Breadish and roasted dark malty aroma, has a dried fruit note too. Chocolate flavoured with a distinct liqourice in the finish. Gives a smooth chocolate flavour along the way and slowly leading into a nice finish with a distinct liqourice note.

Bottled. Deep brown colour, close to black, not much head. Aroma is sweet malts, licorice, some mild roast as well as coffee and chocolate in a really nice balance. Flavour is the same along with some mildly stinging alcohol. Good stout, which is wellbalanced.

black, wispy beige head, rich dark chocolate aroma with a light sweet character from the alcohol, big creamy body gets a bit sticky, rich dark chocolate flavor, touch of sweetness works to bring out more of the chocolate and turns it into a silky sweet milk chocolate, touch of licorice, roasted character comes in with the hops to keep the malty sweetness in balance, light bitter finish

the rich roasted and dark chocolate is taking on a coffee character,
