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.

A Mes rate. Cask at the Market Porter. Black body with a tan head and decent condition. Rich smoked malt aroma with some slight earth, not amazing but nice enough. There is an odd note of cardboard in the flavour but lashings of smoky malt and some cereal and bread sort it out nicely. Meaty finish with plenty of bacon plus some developing chalky chocolate. Interesting but not quite right.

Cask@Battersea BF. Thin and watery fro a stout. Some light roastyness and not a lot else going on. NOt unpleasant, just a bit thin.

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.
