Scottish Oatmeal Stout (Bottle) from Broughton Ales

5.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 6
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
