Our hefty and comforting oatmeal stout is brewed with loads of roasted malt, a kiss of UK crystal malt, and of course, Maine oats. Simply delicious.

Aroma's are smooth dark malt, toast, cocoa, coffee and a slight hint of molasses. Flavors are similar to nose and mildly sweet. Medium bodied and mild carbonation. Very easy drinking. Been done before many times but this is good.

Can at home in Hackney - thanks to drsandman. Pours black-brown with a dense, frothy mocha head. Nicely rich and rounded dark malts, bittersweet dark chocolate, baking cocoa, ash, scorched earth, some coffee. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation and velvety texture. Well balanced finish with just a mellow kick of alcohol warmth, more burnt malts, layered chocolate, supple bitterness. Excellent stout.
