A Founders take on a classic style, brewed with a generous amount of flaked oats, chocolate malt, roasted barley and a healthy helping of Nugget hops, Founders Oatmeal Stout is nitrogen-infused to give it an extra smooth and creamy mouthfeel. An attractive cascade effect gives this beer its forthright visual appeal—and the body and clean flavor delivers on that initial promise.

On tap. Pours an opaque black with a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and caramel. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, chocolate, caramel and oats with a mild, bitter coffee finish. Light to medium body with a creamy, smooth texture and soft carbonation. Tasty.

On tap at McKay's, pours a deep dark mahogany / dark brown with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out light oats and toasted malt. Flavour is very dull, with light oats and bready malt. Creamy palate but painfully bland and lacking depth. Weak stuff.

Pours black into a shaker. Creamy tan head with excellent retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Resin and chocolate aromas. Soft with chocolate and espresso upfront turning to resin in the lasting finish.

On nitro tap at prefunk boise. Pours out a creamy black topped with a thick cream tan head. Nose is light roast a touch of chocolate and some ash. Taste is more of the nice light roast and chocolate. Very nice and smooth

On Tap at the Prefunk Founders tap takeover Black, dense tan nitro head. Nice roasty aromas and flavors. Quite dry and thin. The nitro saves the palatte of this beer. Pretty good. Lots of good roast flavor for 4.5%

Nitro. Darkest brown color with tan head. Aroma is flakes, coffee, some dark malts. Taste is oatflakes, chocolate, but really lots of oatflakes. Incredibly silky mouthfeel, but a bit too watery. Nice!

If only smooth and creamy were the sole requirements for a good beer. Not that Nitro Oatmeal isn’t decent, but it’s surprisingly tame for a Founders stout, roasty but thin, with a slight cherry tartness undermining the wanted mocha richness. Opens up as it warms, with a soothing bitterness leveling off the finish, but the mild licorice-chocolate fade could use more heft. Might end up raising my score...depends in how merry this pint leaves me.

Keg at Cask Pub and Kitchen, Pimlico, London. A black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Roasty, malty, chocolate aroma. Tastes roasty, malty, chocolate, rather thin and watery, expected a lot more from Founders to be honest.
