513. Sun King (Indianapolis, IN) - The Flying Cupcake

“The Flying Cupcake is a Collaboration Blonde Oatmeal Stout made with yellow cupcakes filled with mixed berry compote and iced with white chocolate icing.”

(And apparently it’s just understood that the collaboration is with a local outfit called The Flying Cupcake.) But I digress; and yes, those are probably cupcakes in there. And white chocolate. And icing. We can only hope that it’s buttercream icing and not that whipped cream shit that some people like. And it’s fine. Is it anything to write home about? No. Is it bad? No. Is it sort of extra creamy because of the oatmeal? We could go on and on about that. I have had both lovely and anonymous experiences with beers that use oat (or oatmeal) as the grain base; prolly the best I can say is that it don’t confront me none. The grain base doesn’t make my socks roll up and down; it’s mostly the hops that do that. (And you probably know that by now.)
