Velvet Devil

Oatmeal stout – dark medium-bodied beer with a tan coloured head.  It has a roasted maltiness on the nose and bitter-sweet chocolate and coffee on the palate. The complexity of this beer can be attributed to the roasted grains in combination with the nutty flavour of the oatmeal. The hop aroma is low, but both earthy and floral notes can be detected thanks to the English hops we used.

Alcohol By Volume: 5%

International Bittering Unit: 18

*Remember there is a difference between absolute bitterness and perceived bitterness, so try things first before looking at the number on the label – you might be surprised.

Velvet Devil can easily stand up to rich, spicy food like barbecued beef, Oaxacan mole, or hearty Szechuan dishes.  It’s amazing with very buttery well-aged cheddars as well.  For dessert, think about items such as chocolate espresso cake, profiteroles, or cream puffs.
