Product Details
OVERVIEW
Subtype / Style
Oatmeal Stout is named for the use of oatmeal in the grist. The oatmeal ingredient is not intended to be a sweetener, but rather it contributes to Oatmeal Stout’s body and enhances a silky or smooth mouth-feel. Variations in body, smoothness and sweetness are found across various examples of Oatmeal Stout beer, though beers of this style generally exhibit chocolaty, nutty, coffee-like aromas and flavors from roasted malts and roasted barley, with low to medium bitterness. Oatmeal can add complexity to the brew, including some earthiness and a bit of grainy texture. Hop aroma and flavor are typically low, and hop bitterness is moderate, which allows the malts to take the lead in the best Oatmeal Stouts. Expect the color to range from medium-brown to black.
Producer Story
Opening its Hayward, Calif., doors in 1983, Buffalo Bill’s Brewery helped begin America’s microbrew stampede. Today it is one of the nation’s oldest brewpubs and personifies what it calls a “maverick attitude,” offering a great selection of bottled year-round and seasonal specialties. They include Buffalo Bill’s Orange Blossom Cream Ale, IPA Alimony Ale (“Irreconcilably Different!”), Blueberry Oatmeal Stout and Pumpkin Ale.
Buffalo Bill’s Pumpkin Ale, labeled “America’s Original Pumpkin Ale,” is widely believed to be the first commercially brewed pumpkin beer in the United States. The Pilgrims were the first homebrewers to make beer with pumpkins, so it’s a truly American beer style, which has gained popularity anew since Buffalo Bill first offered it as a fall seasonal beer. Buffalo Bill uses baked and roasted pumpkins in the mash along with cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg to create its “pumpkin pie in a bottle.”
