The Stout beer style has been dominated by an international brand, which most beer drinkers have tried to very differing opinions. We’ve found a gem of a beer in this Oatmeal Stout.
A full-bodied stout to fill the void that you’ve been trying to fill with all of those “other” stouts. Brewed with a generous amount of chocolate malt and oats, this is one satisfyingly smooth beer.
In the realm of natural resource extraction, overburden is the non-economic soil or rock between the surface and the reserve, mineral deposit or pay-zone. Some consider this land to be waste. Historically and in a reach of artistic license, Porters/Stouts were considered waste by some and reserved for those working manual labour in 18th century Britain. Through our lens of sustainability, we believe strongly in waste reduction and repurposing.

I normally don’t like stouts, but I love this one.
THE STYLE
Oatmeal stouts have sweet malty aromas, hints of nutty oatmeal and fruity characters. Colour is a deep brown-black. Usually brewed with pale malts and small amount of black patent malt to achieve the dark colouring. A big difference from other stouts is the addition of oats to add a silky smoothness, and a sweetness from the malts used.
THE HISTORY
Every stout out there originated from the porter style of beer. The first reference of stout beer dates back to 1677, describing stronger dark beers of the time. The stout style became quite popular in Ireland and Scotland. During late 19th century oatmeal stouts were marketed as a tonic of strength and health (advertised Jan. 27, 1894 issue of Aberdeen Journal). The health claims added to the style popularity, even though the oatmeal accounted for around 1% of the grain bill.
