MJ's wonderful new book 'Beer Companion' pigeonholes Oatmeal stouts in the 
Sweet Stout subcategory.  I would agree with him that that is true for the 
English Oatmeal stouts like Sam Smith's.  

I think that American oatmeal stouts are more varied, some are sweet, some are 
dry.  I disagree with Scott Bickham that an oatmeal stout belongs in the 
specialty category.
