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.

Clear mahogany pour with bonus points for a 1 inch cream colored head that just never leaves. Nice lacing, as well. Fragrant chocolate, coffee, and nuttiness. Flavor is roasted malt, chocolate, and caramel. Quite thin for the style. A good sessionable stout.

Love this beer. Wish it were easier to obtain in good condition as I have found it in dusty bottles more often than not.

The 1st Oatmeal Stout I had ever had and still my favorite. Pours very dark with a thin, creamy head. Aromas of bittersweet chocolate, roasted coffee, I sense a taste of fig or date and a brown sugary finish. Love this one!

Nice dark black color, good aroma. Taste was very heavy, definetly not a session beer, more like 1 bottle with dinner The fruit taste comes on a little too strong, but a pretty good beer overall

Black with large long lasting tan head. Unfortunately the appearance is the best thing about this beer. Aroma is faint choco. Taste is light bland bittersweet choco. I like the aftertaste most of all.
