Hop BroAt HOP MAN in Chigasaki, karuizawaQ's "Under the Light" has been tapped. It's an oatmeal stout, and the nice thing about it is that, even though it's dark, it's not too heavy.
MugiWhoa! When I hear dark beer, I imagine something much bolder and stronger, but there really is such a thing as a "dark beer that isn't too heavy"!
Hop BroThere is. It's 4.5% ABV, and thanks to the oats, the mouthfeel is soft. Even though it's a stout, it's the kind that goes down smoothly.
MugiOats, like the breakfast thing? And they make beer softer? That's confusing, like the barley is adding more barley!
Hop BroExactly, that's what makes it interesting. Oats make it easier to create a smooth mouthfeel because of their protein and beta-glucan content.
MugiHuh! And the article mentioned cacao and coffee, so does it really taste like a fragrant dark beer when you drink it?
Hop BroYeah, it has roast character, but it doesn't push all the way into burnt territory. The sweetness is modest too, so it's aimed at a gentle roast profile, which makes it friendly even for stout beginners.
MugiAnd with the carbonation kept down too, it sounds like something you could drink calmly! I might love that comfortable balance, good for either chugging or sipping!
Hop BroIn a place like HOP MAN, where the guest taps change out constantly, a beer like this really stands out. The daily-changing fun you find in Chigasaki is irresistible from a bartender's point of view, too.
MugiThen today's decision is made! I'm in the mood for a soothing dark beer, and Hop bro could probably keep explaining it while going through glass after glass!
