Crafted with a blend of roasted oats and specialty malts, Oatmeal Stout boasts a deep, ebony hue and a dense, velvety head. Its aroma tantalizes with hints of chocolate, coffee beans, and toasted grain. On the palate, this stout delivers a full-bodied experience. The creamy texture, imparted by the oats, envelops the tongue with notes of roasted nuts, dark chocolate, and a subtle sweetness. The beer’s bitterness is well-balanced, providing a subtle counterpoint to the sweet flavors. “We wanted to create a stout that was rich and complex, yet approachable and drinkable,” said head brewer Eric Peterson. “Oatmeal Stout achieves this balance perfectly, offering a satisfying and memorable experience.” Oatmeal Stout pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and desserts such as chocolate cake. Its ABV of 6.5% makes it an ideal choice for both casual and celebratory occasions. HopCat’s Oatmeal Stout is available now on tap and in 16-ounce cans at the brewery’s taproom and select retailers throughout Iowa. Beer drinkers are encouraged to visit HopCat and indulge in this exceptional addition to Des Moines’ craft beer scene.
