Beer #6 of my 2025 Advent Calendar....
A- Pours a super dark brown color, almost black and doesn't show any light throughout. The head is a light caramel color, and starts out around a full finger in thickness before swiftly settling down into a thin layer that becomes a patchwork of foam...clumpy foam. I cannot tell what the carbonation looks like from the opaque nature of the brew, but the lacing is thin and watery, with simple small clumps of protein attempting to cling to the inside of the glass, before swiftly sliding back into the liquid.
S- Aromas that are dry and standard are abound here....I get dark chocolate (say 80% or more), fresh cocoa powder, slight French press coffee, and suitably black and chocolate malts, that are both bitter and raw in smell. Slight campfire smoke and damp Earthy notes are present as well..like I am walking through a boreal forest trail just after a shower. The finish shows off muted hop bitterness too....overall this smells like what I would like in an Oatmeal stout and I'm sure the flavor wont disappoint!
T- The flavors follow suit to the aromas quite well, with very dry oat flakes and bitter cocoa starting things off. High cocoa Dark chocolate bar (like a Lindt....smooth but bitter), black coffee, and black tea astringency are the highlights here. I also detect black charred barley malt, burnt yes but not quite to the point of unpalatable. Dark chocolate malt is used a whole lot here as well, which leads to the finish, which is a combination of leafy hop cones, astringent dark charred character that leaves an impression on the palate, and Earthiness that lingers well into the next taste.
M/O- The mouthfeel is relatively smooth, with a slightly zesty carbonation. The body is medium, leaning into full and the flavors coat the palate rather well. The drinkability I would say is good for the style, as I would probably have another pint after this initial one....the slightly lower alcohol helps with that. This would pair well with a beef/lamb stew or any sort of savoury pub fare, and I would definitely want to have this stout again! Cheers!
