Epic Brewmaster Kevin Crompton  increased the amount of flaked barley for additional creaminess to the body in this release of 825 State Stout. The result: the sweet oatmeal in the stout comes out more with a lighter, silkier mouth-feel texture. All the familiar flavors of roasted malt, sweet toffee and burnt marshmallow remain, but with a smoother, creamy finish.
