Commercial Description:
Originally a drink for lactating mothers, oatmeal stout was described as nutritional on early labels. Oats are in the same family as barley, and a small addition yields great flavor. Popular in the late 1800’s, the last oatmeal stout was brewed before the First World War until Samuel Smith reintroduced this style in 1980.

Almost opaque, with an unusually silky texture and complex, medium-dry velvet palate. Bittersweet finish.

Pours black with a nice tan head. Aroma is of roasted malt. Medium bodied, and excellent oatmeal and malt flavor. This is definitely the best oatmeal stout that I have had.

Bottled: Light roasty malt aroma. Notes of coffee, cacao and chocolate. Black color with a foamy, brown head. Flavor is sweet malty, fruity, intensive notes of cacao, hints of plums and cherries. Roasted malt and a nice hop bitterness in the end.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark, syrupy black with a light tan head. Aromas of roasted malts, metal, and a tinge of banana. Metal aroma disappears on the palate. Flavors of roasted malt, banana, coffee, and tinge of chocolate. Medium to heavily bodied.

Pours dark and smells wonderful. Taste is wonderful, sweet malts, caramel and a roasted nutty flavor that is balanced and makes you want another sip. Yum.
