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.

A black beer with a fine light brown head. The flavor is fruity, roasted, and oaty. The flavor is sweet with a slight but nice bitterness and notes of fruit, oats, and roasted malt. A very nice stout.

(Bottle 55 cl) Pitch black with a neat, little brownish head. Roasted, malty aroma. Quite light in body, notes of roasted/burned malts that don’t leave any real bitterness though. Appears smooth with an unusual underlying slightly tart note. Could be the oats. Unusual. 050201

35.5 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a redish glare and a slowly collapsing tan head. Mild roasted and smooth malt aroma. Smooth mouthfeel. Acidic roasted malt with a light smoke flavour. Light coffee-ish note too. Light acidic and mild smoke finish.

Bottled. Deep rubyish black colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is pleasantly smoked wood with some hops and malts. Flavour is roasted malts, smoked wood and some slight acidicness. Quite pleasant, though the flavour is quite a dissappointment.

Bottle, 5% at KØ09. Dark brown colour. Mild malty flavour, dark malt. Low bitterness. Good mouthfeel, nicely chewy, but the carbonation is a little high. Subtle but very nice.

Bottled. Brown coloured with a solid beige head. Fruity aroma with roated notes and notes of nuts. Flavour of nuts and fruits with roasted notes. Big disappointment, tastes like a bad home brew !
