Brewed in the French mountain village of Sassis by Brasserie du Pays Toy, this oatmeal stout at 5.5% ABV delivers approachable complexity. The brewery draws on local spring water and quality malts to craft a beer that balances the signature smoothness of oats with darker, roasted character.

A dark brown body with orange hints supports a fine beige head. Coffee and chocolate dominate the aroma, with subtle sweetness from the oats beneath. On the palate, dry oat flavours give way to a bittersweet cocoa finish that remains pleasantly mild and integrated.

This is a well-rounded stout that reveals its depth as it warms.
