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.

Bottle. Slightly metallic liquorice aroma. Almost black colour, red hue. Small light brown head. Mouthfeel is slightly thin, carbonation above medium. Flavour is mild, lightly roasted. OK, but a little too mild for my liking. 6 3 6 3 12

(Bottle 50 cl) This is not only black, this is black as hell - with a small, fine brownish head. Brewed with oats but smells like licorice. Lightly smoked notes from the black malt, but never burned. Some underlying chocolatey sweetness. Quite light body and actually rather refreshing and quenching. 240104

Black color. Simple aroma and taste, just some roasted malt, some sweetness, too weak and too poor.

Dark amber to brown color. Strong caramel character, with nuts and herbs, but overall poor.

Nice stout appearance, though it has a short-lived head, the lacing is light tan and decent. Aroma of lactose and roastiness, with some cookie. Flavor starts quite bitter, then that fades and makes way for some subtle maltiness and a finish of oats and excessive lactose flavor. Quite thin bodied, esp. for a stout. Easy drinking, but a mediocre effort at best.

A dark red almost brown beer with an OK head. The aroma is that of smoked and chocolate malt - just like a stout should smell. The flavor is a strong stout flavor dominated by smoked malt - it''s a little watery in the middle but ends with a good aftertaste. Not much like the other oatmeal stouts I''ve had - but a good stout anyways
