    I like this style, but my wife and I shared a bomber of Rogue's Oatmeal Stout. It is our new favorite. I've had this style from several other breweries, but this was a winner. I'm usually not fan of their beers but this was amazing, both in mouthfeel, taste, and back end. What are some other's I should give a shot with? Samuel Smith's left me underwhelmed, to be honest...

    Yeah- the Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout is what even the Rogue haters will acknowledge as a very nice beer.

    Have you tried Ipswitch yet? That one may be more up your alley as well.

    New Glarus Road Slush is pretty tasty this year.

    I'm a big fan of Anderson Valley's Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout.

    Also Firestone Velvet Merlin (and Velvet Merkin but that's barrel aged so may not be quite what you are looking for, despite being delicious).

    For a very affordable option, I'm also a fan of Trader Joe's Stockyard Oatmeal Stout. Runs about $5.99 / sixer at my local spot.

    Thanks!! I must be more aware of Ipswitch. My best bet is Oliver's in Albany, NY. New Glarus beers are something I can only wish for. :rolling_eyes:

    Thanks, man... I have a Trader Joe's here in Westchester County, and in my travels to Albany, NY. I will have to seek them out. Thanks again!

    Stoudt's Fat Dog imperial oatmeal stout is one of the beers that first got me into craft beer a few years back. Still one of my favorite stouts.

    Ipswich Oatmeal Stout is my go-to favorite Oatmeal Stout. That's a man's Oatmeal Stout. mmm

    I also dig FW Velvet Merlin, NH The Poet, and Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout (for a more English, smooth style).

    My next beer to search for is Velvet Merlin. Sounds like a winner. Although, I wished that I grabbed all 5 bottles of Rogue's Oatmeal Stout. This beer actually became more flavorful as it warmed. And I'm not a fan of room temp beers.

    The Firestone is probably my least fav of the bunch but all good. These are the only ones I could find pics for them. The Poet is probably the best value and maybe the best one (tied with 4hands)

    If you can get Pipeworks' Grand Guignol; Act One oatmeal stout, you are in for a treat.

    Best I've had of the style in some time.
