This has been my best brew by far. Simple to do and the results are stunning. Forget Guiness, this stout is the real deal! The oats in the mash certainly made it look porridgey but what it gave to both the flavour and body of the beer is exceptional. Will definitely be doing this one again. The only downside is that I am very unlikely to have any bottles left for Christmas!

Made this kit twice now and it is excellent. First one I kept a dozen bottles over a year and it only got better. Second batch is nearly gone. 2 weeks in the fermenter and primed & bottled for the lower side of carbonation as it will keep carbing – if you intend keeping it any length of time. Lots of roast nutty flavour, I’m a Guinness drinker but I think I might prefer this.

I purchased this pre-lockdown and it fermented through the remainder of spring. The selection of malts, along with the oats, resulted in a fantastic flavour and rich mouth-feel. I’ll definitely be trying this again – as feedback from people I gave bottles to was better than my earlier selections. Good product thanks to the malt miller

I would agree with the other reviews so far. It’s a lovely beer (my first ever all-grain stout) and I’ve just received a rave review from my father in law. I’ll definitely be making another batch.
