Inveralmond Brewery, owned and operated by Innis & Gunn, has launched Ossian Oatmeal Stout.
Deep black in colour, with a rich creamy head, it comes in at 4.1% ABV. Classic aromas of sweet malt, coffee, and cocoa are evident. The flavour is a balance of bitter and sweet, with malt and mocha. It has been brewed with Scottish oatmeal to give a smooth, creamy, and balanced taste.
Ossian Oatmeal Stout is rolling out in the Scottish on-trade after a successful trial in Innis & Gunn’s Brewery Taproom bars. Stout is a popular choice for Scottish consumers, representing one in every 12 pints sold across the country.
Dougal Gunn Sharp, master brewer and owner of Inveralmond Brewery, said: “Ossian Oatmeal Stout offers stout fans all they love about their beloved brew, but with a Scottish spin.
“Adding Scottish oatmeal has allowed for a beautifully smooth taste, whilst maintaining the classic stout flavours and all important serve, so central to the enjoyment and drinking experience of this style of beer.
“Initial trials of Ossian Oatmeal Stout in Innis & Gunn Brewery Taprooms across Scotland proved very popular, and the response to the brew has been resoundingly positive. I am pleased that we are in a position to roll this beer out on a wider scale and bring a quality, contemporary offering to the stout drinkers of Scotland.”
