Oatmeal stout is a style of sweet stout that uses oatmeal, which adds a silky-smooth mouth feel.It is generally medium to full-bodied and the flavor and hop character vary due to process and recipe.

This smoothness comes from the high content of proteins, lipids (includes fats and waxes), and gums of the oats.
