After that Rogue Hazelnut Brown, this stout was a welcome relief. It arrived with a huge, thick, light red head. There was great lacing all the way up the glass. The aroma was smokey, with a toasted taste that reminded me of burning mesquite. Young Oatmeal Stout has a medium body, with a well-rounded mouthfeel. There is a slight Guinness-type bitterness on the back of your tongue, with an almost clean finish.

I want to get my hands on some British ales. I love that they’re served at room temperature.
My husband had tried the Oatmeal Stout this weekend. He was not a fan of it. It had a great appearance but disappointed in the taste of it.
I like the way you rate them. My husband also wrote a review on it. Feel free to check it out.
