Schlafly Oatmeal Stout

Tap to rate

A classic British-style stout with oat flakes in the mash for a smooth, creamy body. Dark and roasty with chocolate and coffee notes, balanced by just enough bitterness and a nutty character from the roasted barley. One of Schlafly's most consistent year-round performers.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted barley and dark chocolate, underscored by gentle coffee notes. Oat flakes contribute a subtle grain sweetness that softens the roasted character. No hop aroma intrudes; the bouquet remains malt-forward and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and creamy across the palate, the oatmeal adjunct evident in the rounded mouthfeel. Chocolate and nutty roast develop in the mid-palate, layered with restrained bitterness that never dominates. The 30 IBU sits in balance, allowing roast and sweetness to coexist without harsh edges.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
