Actually, you're not that far off. Oatmeal stout was once thought to be good fare for nourishing mothers. And it was also thought to be associated with good health. Oatmeal stouts go back to the 16th century. But they fell out of favor in more modern times. There was renewed interest in 1977 after a critic referenced a beer made with oats. Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout was produced as a result of that renewed interest. Lots of good oatmeal stouts available now. Oboviod was a new one for me...and it's a damn good one.
