Oatmeal Stout

Oatmeal Stout is a variant of traditional stout that incorporates oats into the grain bill, resulting in a smooth, silky mouthfeel with a fuller body. It typically displays roasted grain aromas, coffee-like flavors, and mild sweetness, with the oats contributing a distinctive creaminess without overwhelming the roasted character. Originating in the late 19th century but revived in the 1980s, modern versions often contain 5-10% oats in the mash.
