Thanks Ken, I'm looking forward to making it.  It's a style I have not done yet.

Nothing quite like rinsing out the last cup of coffee with an oatmeal stout on a Sunday morning.  :)

We just kegged a nice oatmeal stout last week, in fact I blew the "bonus beer" keg (an extra gallon after filling the other two).  I used oats, flaked barley and some flaked rye.  You can really tell the rye is in there because the body is super thick and creamy.  Definitely a stout time of year, and the basement garage is running barely 60F so I've been leaving the kegs by the door and drinking them at cellar temp, really brings out the malt.

Congrats!  What're you breiwng next?  We just did a black IPA with a really heavy hop load.

Oatmeal stout is one of my favorite styles. I've been having a hard time getting it right. I think it's a water issue, still troubleshooting. Sammy Smith's is the benchmark. Don't trust anyone who says otherwise!

My son says Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout is the best stout ever; second place for him for stouts is Obsidian.  I like them both, but also have to pull for Breckenridge's Oatmeal Stout - for me a very much gateway brew that led me into the dark brews.

You're talking miniscule difference in ratings for me; others may disagree...but Sam's is the benchmark, for sure.

I don't know if they get much distribution outside of New England, but Ipswich Oatmeal Stout is a wonderful brew. But yeah, hard to beat Sam Smith.

+1 to Sam Smith's line of beers.  The oatmeal is very tasty.
