Troost Oatmeal Stout

Tap to rate

Coffee and nuts come through clearly in aroma and flavour, on a rich, dark malt base of pale ale malt and roasted barley. Oats give a creamy, soft mouthfeel and the finish stays gentle. With a relatively low 4.5% it drinks surprisingly easily, a full classic stout inspired by the favourite beer of the old dockworkers.

◐ Taste

Coffee and hazelnut flavors build immediately on the palate, underpinned by a rich, roasted malt base of pale ale malt and roasted barley. The oats provide a distinctive creamy, soft mouthfeel that rounds the moderate 30 IBU bitterness into a balanced whole. Dark fruit and chocolate notes hover beneath, adding complexity without dominating.

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.
