Oatmeal

Roasted malt character and a touch of caramel and chocolate define this late 19th-century English classic.

Brewed with a smooth body thanks to the addition of oatmeal, Oatmeal Stouts are often dark with a soft sweetness and a mouth-coating texture.

Aromas reminiscent of coffee and nutty flavors make them a popular winter beer that pairs magnificently with smoked meats, spicy sauces, clams, and rich desserts.

These stouts display low to moderate hop bitterness, allowing the rich, dark malt elements to take center stage.
