This collaboration brew with Loma Brewing is based on years of friendship and almost a decade in the making. Loma and Oakland United started with an eloquent base and built upon it with liberal chocolate nib and vanilla additions to create a truly unique experience.

Appearance: GOLDEN! When properly poured, a thick white creamy head cascades down the sides of the glass, eventually settling  with about 2 inches of dense nitro foam.

Aroma: Very dessert-centric without being overly sweet or cloying. Vanilla and chocolate notes waft as the nitro pour effervesces.

Taste: A luxurious blend of malt sweetness, bitter (and fruity) chocolate, and rich vanilla are melded by the creaminess of the nitrogen pour to make an exceptionally complex and enjoyable golden stout.

Mouthfeel/Finish: The nitro pulls the weight on mouthfeel, making a pillowy pallet for the flavors to be expressed. Subtle sweetness and high notes of vanilla linger.
