Brewed with malted oats, and even malted rye, this is a traditional beer style without the roasted flavours normally associated with modern stouts.

Bottle from Bury Lane Farm Shop, nr Royston. Aroma combines malts and oats with a berry edge and cacao. Pours dark opaque brown. Foamy beige head. There's a bitter espresso and charcoal core. Over this there is a tangy berry layer. Sweet malts and oats take the edge off. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Didn't have high expectations but this is nice little Oatmeal.Stout.

Cask, NERAX, 4/20/23. Maybe clear? Small, grey-tsn head to ring. Malty, lightly roasty with vanilla, milk and chocolate. Very, very clean. Soft, malty, moderately sweet with choco-caramel, mild roast. Super clean, maybe too much so (lacking personality)?
