This oatmeal stout was brewed with seven different malts and a few generous additions of Bramling Cross hops during the boil. Much as we like the dark fruit flavour of Bramling Cross it’s always somewhat lacking in the aroma department, so we enlisted the help of Bravo, Citra, Mosaic & Simcoe after fermentation to make things a little more interesting.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a murky dark brown with a frothy off white head. The aroma is malt, big grassy hop. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a crisp, fresh, dry malt, light sweet fruit, light dry pepper spice, grassy hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Some Stout characteristics but more like a Black IPA for me.

Lane z casku. Czarne, nieprzejrzyste, ze średniopęcherzykową, ciemnoberzową pianą, utrzymującą się i ładnie koronkującą. W aromacie przede wszystkim palone słody, kawa, przypalone ciasto. Aromaty chmielowe raczej z tyłu, choć czuć czarną porzeczkę, żywicę i trochę brzoskwini. W smaku stout z goryczką - o bardzo przyjemnym balansie. American Stouty zazwyczaj są przechmielone i goryczka pochodząca od chmielu i od palonych słodów nieprzyjemnie się łączą. W tym przypadku jest inaczej, balans naprawdę robi wrażenie. Wysycenie niskie w kierunku średniego, odpowiednie. Fajnie się pije.
