Oats are used in the brewing of Scottish Oatmeal Stout to enhance the flavour of the black malt and roasted barley which give this traditional beer its rich dark colour and strong, complex roasted malt aroma and flavour, reminiscent of coffee and chocolate. These flavours are offset by a good hop bitterness and silky aftertaste.
Robert Younger, great grandfather of the founder of Broughton Brewery would be proud of this fine stout.

Deep brown coloured body with a thinnish tan head and a nice bit of oily lace on the side of the glass. Aroma of nice mellow malt, caramel, nuts, marshmallows and even some soap. Medium-bodied; Sweet mellow flavour with a subtle nuttiness tucked in with the malt and a touch of effervescent alcohol flavours. Aftertaste is mild considering the style, but the ABV makes sense with this - very light in all senses. Overall, a good light sweet stout - much more mild than most other Oatmeals - but good to try. While I can get it here stateside, this 50 cL bottle was purchased at McHughes Off-License in Killbarrack, Dublin, Ireland on 20-February-2009, sampled on the other side of the sea at home in Washington on 28-April-2009 when the Capitals advance to the 2nd round of the NHL Playoffs!

500ml bottle that pours a nice mahogany coloured body under a light brown head, slowly diminishing. Smell of roasted grain. Chocolaty and coffee maltiness together with oatmeal in flavour. Finish of with a peaty touch [bottle from Luvians in St Andrews, 27.10.2008].

bottle as Kinmount Willie Stout - Pours very dark amber with a thin tan head. It has the expected roast malt aroma. There’s also a hint of chocolate. The flavor is mostly of roast malt as the hops are muted. There’s still that hint of chocolate. It’s medium bodied and finishes a little dry.
