Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
Ingredients: Maris Otter Malt, Black Malt, Roasted Barley, Pinhead Oats; Fuggles, Goldings and Target Hops.
Scottish Oatmeal Stout takes on the image of Robert Younger, founder of Younger's Brewery in Edinburgh and great grandfather of the founder of Broughton brewery.
Oats are used in the brewing of Scottish Oatmeal Stout to enhance the flavour of the black malt and roasted barley which give this traditional beer its rich dark colour and strong, complex roasted malt aroma and flavour, reminiscent of coffee and chocolate. These flavours are offset by a good hop bitterness and silky aftertaste. At 4.2% ABV this rich full bodied stout is a beer that Robert Younger would have been proud of.

Much more widely available in bottle than on cask, so this was a welcome opportunity to try this beer as a real ale. Pitch black in colour, with very little head. Biscuity malt aroma. Roasty flavour with hints of tobacco. Quite sweet. Not very full bodied. Perfectly acceptable, but a bit short of interest. Cask (gravity dispense), Battersea Beer Festival 2005.

Cask at Battersea Beer Festival 2005 (Thursday). Black with a very thin chocolate head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Flavour is sweet malt and a little roasty/burnt with some background fruit. Reminds me of boiled sweets.
