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.

One of my favorites. Pours black. Smells of oats and chocolate. Tastes of coffee, oats, malt. It’s sweet but balanced. Love it.

Pours a dark dark brown, opaque. 2 Finger, tan head.Aroma is mild, slightly sweet, and little bit floral. Taste is...admittedly complex. It seems like theres so much going on here. Caramel and/or coffee malts, something of a licorice taste. Then theres something a bit nutty. It certainly gets better as you go. I’m not completely sold on it, however it is good. Smooth. Tasty. Definitely a solid stout.

really enjoyrd this one.Oh sweet bitterness.Black with a creamy medium brown head. Virtually no lace. Aroma of black and chocolate malts, Taste of chocolate malt also, with just enough hops to balance the malt sweetness.

Fantastic brew that I really enjoyed a lot. At the right temperature the nose blows me away. Great stout with a nice, creamy palate. Super malty- chocolate, toasted, brown sugar taste. Not very bitter. I really enjoyed this beer, this is probably one of my favorite stouts ever.

Aromas started coming out quite slowly, maybe too cold at the beginning. Lots of brown sugar, some chocolate, maybe even some bananas... Very dark with a great ever-lasting dark tan head. Sweet malts dominate the flavors, then some chocolate and roasts. Nice body, although not very chewy, more on the watery side but still right. A very nice sweet stout. So nutritive it could be my everyday breakfast from now on...
