Darkest Days Oatmeal Stout by Liberty Brewing is a captivating stout that showcases a remarkable depth of flavor. This award-winning brew pours a deep, jet-black color, topped with a dense, creamy tan head that lingers temptingly. The aroma is an intriguing blend of roasted malts, chocolate, licorice, and hints of dark fruit, inviting you to take a closer look. On the palate, this full-bodied stout delivers a harmonious balance of sweetness and bitterness. Notes of roasted barley, chocolate, coffee, caramel, and molasses dance across the tongue, creating a complex and satisfying experience. The addition of oatmeal lends a smooth, creamy texture that enhances the rich flavors, resulting in a velvety mouthfeel that lingers pleasantly. With a medium-high bitterness from hops and roasted malts, this stout provides a delightful contrast to the sweetness, making it an ideal companion for hearty dishes such as roasted meats, stews, or indulgent chocolate desserts.
