Southern Tier Oat Imperial Oatmeal Stout

Southern Tier Brewing Company • Lakewood, New York

It is beer #2 in our Blackwater Series of original Imperial Stouts. The first in the Series was Is, a dark and bitter Russian Imperial Stout. Oat is the follow up; an Oatmeal Stout with major alcohol volume and tons of body to back it up. The cloying character of the oats in this brew lends itself to a chewy and almost oily mouthfeel. ABV. is off the charts at about 12.5%. Note, that this is an all malt beer fermented with our house ale strain of yeast. Judicious hopping with Columbus and Chinook produce a hoppy aroma that mingles nicely with the chocolate and de-bittered black barley from Belgium.
