Our review of Breckenridge Brewery’s Oatmeal Stout:
Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout is a good beer. It has the right mix of taste, smell, and appearance to make it a very positive beer drinking experience.
The color of the beer is right on script for a stout. It has that dark color and thick, creamy head that stouts are known for. There is a solid roasted malt smell along with some coffee and oatmeal in the background. The taste pretty much copies the smell with a nice clean finish. Drinkability is very good. This is an easy drinking beer and well worth trying.

I have yet to pick this beer up. I have had the Agave Wheat and the Vanilla Porter from Breckenridge, but it looks like I’m going to have to give this a try.
Scott,
The Oatmeal stout is pretty good and definitely worth trying. Let me know what you think of it when you try it.
I would like to know if the Breckenridge oatmeal stout contains wheat. I love the stout and would like to continue drinking it. (I have recently been diagnosed with a wheat allergy.)
Hi Matt,
Thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it!
As for whether any beer contains wheat, unless it’s listed on the label (a wheat beer, for example) I would contact the brewer to confirm. If you have a wheat allergy (and not a general gluten) allergy, I would think that many beers would be fine. But, if you have a gluten allergy then most beer will be off-limits. I would say to get the definitive word from your Doc on whether you have a wheat or gluten allergy and then contact the brewer to double check the ingredients.
Cheers!
