Founders Nitro Oatmeal Stout
A Founders take on a classic style, brewed with a generous amount of flaked oats, chocolate malt, roasted barley and a healthy helping of Nugget hops, Founders Oatmeal Stout is nitrogen-infused to give it an extra smooth and creamy mouthfeel. An attractive cascade effect gives this beer its forthright visual appeal—and the body and clean flavor delivers on that initial promise.

At the Taphouse, pours black with a Nitro head, aroma of fruits, chocolate, flavor of chocolate, bitterness, nuts, medium bodied
This is the closest I have found to a Guinness. I have tired a lot of different beers that were pushed as a great alternative but just because the beer is dark does not make it great. I will drink this again.
Taste: creamy smooth from oats, only slightly sweet, Chocolate malts, slick mouth-feel and dry finish. Mild malt and cocoa nose. Blackish brown, opaque, nice soft nitro foam head with refined lattice on glass. Medium to Med/lite body. Smoother than Guinness.
On tap at McKay’s, pours a deep dark mahogany / dark brown with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out light oats and toasted malt. Flavour is very dull, with light oats and bready malt. Creamy palate but painfully bland and lacking depth. Weak stuff.
On draft at Mindful. Poured her black with large fluffy head. Cocoa, coffee, chocolate notes. Thin but creamy. Solid.
Chocolate smoked aroma. The taste is also a mix of the sweet and bitter. Has notes of chocolate, roasted coffee and a light oatmeal. Ends is a creamy bitter dry.
Pours black into a shaker. Creamy tan head with excellent retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Resin and chocolate aromas. Soft with chocolate and espresso upfront turning to resin in the lasting finish.
On nitro tap at prefunk boise. Pours out a creamy black topped with a thick cream tan head. Nose is light roast a touch of chocolate and some ash. Taste is more of the nice light roast and chocolate. Very nice and smooth
On Tap at the Prefunk Founders tap takeover Black, dense tan nitro head. Nice roasty aromas and flavors. Quite dry and thin. The nitro saves the palatte of this beer. Pretty good. Lots of good roast flavor for 4.5%
Black body, ok head. Nose is softly coffee roast. Medium-bodied, creamy mouthfeel, tinny coffee notes. Wet roasty finish. Rather 2-dimensional
Growler, having been filled hours previous. No real head. Dark black color. Opaque. Malty nose, chocolate, roast. Creamy mouthfeel. Sweet flavor with a cheek biting note. Syrupy, chocolate, Low oatmeal notes. A bit dull.
Nitro. Darkest brown color with tan head. Aroma is flakes, coffee, some dark malts. Taste is oatflakes, chocolate, but really lots of oatflakes. Incredibly silky mouthfeel, but a bit too watery. Nice!
Nitro Oatmeal Stout
Chuck’s 85th, Seattle. Super creamy, pretty tan nitro head. Brown edged, wet dark body. Warm Stout aroma. Smooth, creamy, modest bodied Oatmeal stout. Some nice crew. Dark chocolate, coffee roast, easy and smooth. Fantastic clean flavors, a little twist on the finish. Solid tasty stout.
If only smooth and creamy were the sole requirements for a good beer. Not that Nitro Oatmeal isn’t decent, but it’s surprisingly tame for a Founders stout, roasty but thin, with a slight cherry tartness undermining the wanted mocha richness. Opens up as it warms, with a soothing bitterness leveling off the finish, but the mild licorice-chocolate fade could use more heft. Might end up raising my score...depends in how merry this pint leaves me.
Draft at YH - appearance is exactly like you’d expect a nitro stout. Aroma of cold brew. Cocoa and coffee all over the tongue, creamy, a tad thin. Par.
Keg at Cask Pub and Kitchen, Pimlico, London. A black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Roasty, malty, chocolate aroma. Tastes roasty, malty, chocolate, rather thin and watery, expected a lot more from Founders to be honest.
Tap (OlutExpo 2016, Helsinki)
Roasty aroma, fairly pleasant. Totally watery palate. Taste too is watery, some roast behind that. Pretty crap stout, this wasn’t worth the money at all. Even a can of guinness would have been better than this.
On tap at Vermont Tap House, Williston, VT.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a black color with a one and a half fingered off white to almond colored head with a nice slow dissipation. Light lace.
The aroma started off with sweet to roasty coffee bean to sly milk chocolate malts. Some toastiness slides in for a nice balance.
The flavor falls down on all of those previously mentioned aromas, and blends together the roast to the sweet, bringing about a warm bittersweet sharp aftertaste fully feeling it’s effects in the finish.
On the palate, light to medium bodied with a nice sessionability about it. Low carbonation helps milky glossiness creating superb creaminess.
Overall, what a damn nice oatmeal stout, so would have this again.

On tap at Sharkeys Radford. Beautiful head, light tan, jet black beer. Aroma of sweet dark malt. Tasty is quite good nice dark roasted malts, nice body for such a low alcohol beer. A tasty breakfast choice.
Draught @ Amsterdam. Aroma is chocolatey with some well roasted malt. Flavour has dark chocolate, rubbery tones and coffee. Some mild grapefruity hops in the finish. Good, although the rubbery tones disturb me a bit here.

on tap @ Vino Bellissimo / Lima OH --- Aroma of dark malt. Clear, deep ruby black color, smooth deep tan 1" head, curtain of lace. Taste is creamy, chewy, malt that adds chocolate in a lightly fizzed swallow, then light bittering as it floats through a long finish. A terrific light Stout.
