I have started using golden naked oats in most of my beers (it works wonders in a stout where i don't use a stout faucet). it doesn't really add any flavor, and not much color...but, it is like magic f or the head. it gives the beer a thick creamy head that lingers for a full pint.

sounds nice. I'd be interested to get a side by side with regular oats though. I have to wonder if the malters realized people had figured out you could just buy oats at the grocery store and came up with this

i brewed my first few stouts with regular oats, and then started brewing with the golden naked. there is a difference. the golden naked results in a head that is nearly identical to the head you get from a beergas / stout faucet, but with co2 and a regular faucet. it makes gazillions of teeny tiny bubbels that last. i was never able to get this with regular oats. the mouthfeel is fairly similar between the two, with a bit more silkyness from the golden naked.

if you try it out, let me know. i would be interested to hear your results.

I used them a few years ago in a stout. I don't remember anything remarkable about it. I've gone back to using flaked.I also used them in a pale ale back then. It did add that nice oat touch to it. Had great head retention but it never really cleared like my other PAs do - just a little hazy - nothing horrible. I didn't bother with gelatin on that one.

I used golden naked oats in a belgian ale. It gave it a light sweet berry like flavor.
