Oatmeal Stout (cask/draft) Recipe
This dark, stout beer is brewed with oats that impart a luxurious and wonderfully rich mouthfeel. Dark malts provide a rich aroma that eases you into your first sip. The roasty and malty characteristics of our Oatmeal Stout are distinct; however, a judicious use of bittering hops keeps the intrinsic malt sweetness from becoming cloying on the palate.
