Oatmeal Stout

🦑 Begi Haundi = Squid = Calamar

Our classic oatmeal stout is back! Dry yet creamy with robust and elegant aromas of chocolate, nuts and fruity coffee beans. Perfect balance between initial sweetness and a somewhat drier finish.

Note: Previously 5.8%.

7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker (I presume). Pours hazy black with a lasting, thin, beige head; little lacing. Aroma of roasted peanut, pistachio, mocha, fondant, earth, dry fig, toasted brown bread. Medium malty sweet onset, chocolatey, coffee & cream but toned down by a nutty edge; very slightly soy-like umami, restrained; light roasted bitter middle has coffee, an earthy tone & hint of fig. Dryish, herbal & earthy hoppy finish, quite bitter, toasty, lingering fondant. Medium body, oily texture, soft to fizzy carbonation. Balanced, good stuff.

bottle. pitch dark, small brown to light brown head. aroma of roasted malts, sawdust, a lot of grinded coffee, dry dark chocolate, faint sourish lacto. flavor is hard roasted malts, very dry feel to it, bitter malty notes, oats. A very dry and non-sweet stout, still creamy, oats add a tiny bit of sweetness, but it is tiny. Very flavorfull for the ABV. imo super well done old fashioned stout.
