A smooth, velvety stout with rich notes of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt, balanced by a silky oat body.

Oatmeal Stout is a classic dark ale with roots in 19th-century England, where brewers began experimenting with oats to add depth and character to traditional stouts. While oats had once been used in older English brewing traditions, its revival in stouts was more about flavour and texture than nutrition. The addition of oats bring a creamy mouthfeel, silky smoothness, and a subtle nutty sweetness that sets it apart from drier stouts.

Historically, oatmeal stouts were seen as nourishing and even marketed as “restorative” beers, though that was more clever advertising than actual medicine. Modern oatmeal stouts usually sit drier than sweet/milk stouts and more sweet than dry Irish stouts.
