ONK 89p Oatmeal Stout

ONK Oatmeal Stout

Every year the open Dutch beer brewing competition (ONK) is organized. In 2019 the Oatmeal Stout from Daniel Eisinger received 89 points out of a 100. The recipe was published and converted into a MiniBrew version. To be honest I was quite surprised a low ABV stout received such a high score, hence the reason to brew this beer. The result is a straightforward Oatmeal Stout. I consider this beer a little dull since I favor more complex beers. I do think this beer would not receive a 4.5 on Untappd.

I brewed this beer two times on the same day. The first version is ‘the original’ and I added some extra ingredients after the main fermentation to the second brew. The ingredients I added where: roasted cocoa nibs, roasted coffee beans, tonka beans and whisky wood. This resulted in a stout with quite some complexity, but due to the low ABV not impressive (enough to publish the recipe).
