Oatmeal Stout – Style Background (BJCP 16B)
Oatmeal Stout is a traditional English-style stout known for its smooth texture and restrained roast character. The use of flaked oats adds body and a silky mouthfeel, softening roasted malt bitterness and creating a fuller impression without excessive sweetness.
Compared to drier Irish stouts, oatmeal stouts emphasize balance and drinkability, with chocolate and light coffee notes supported by gentle bitterness. The result is a comforting, malt-forward stout that’s rich, smooth, and highly approachable.
