Black Rock Oatmeal Stout
Eight malts walked into a fermenter. What came out was this.
Velvet in a glass. Black Rock Oatmeal Stout is a rich, creamy dark beer brewed with a serious Crafted-series malt bill — rolled oats, Dark Chocolate, Light Chocolate, Dark Crystal, Eclipse Wheat and Roast Barley malts all doing their part. The result is a near-black beer with notes of chocolate, coffee and caramel and a smooth, oaty finish that you genuinely did not expect from a can.
At 4.5% ABV this is one of the more sessionable stouts you will brew at home, which is either a blessing or a warning depending on how much you have made.
For best results, brew with Black Rock Unhopped Dark Malt instead of dextrose to give it the body and depth this recipe is built for.
Makes 23 litres (about 60 stubbies or 47 schooners). Yeast included under the lid.
