Poured a dark brown almost black with minimal head and lacings. Nice malty aroma. Coffee, caramel, toasted malt, well hopped, some alcohol flavor. Well balanced rich flavor profile. Good finish too. A meal in a bottle. It cost me over $3 US for this bottle and it was well worth it. Much cheaper than a trip to Engand.

Bottle. Pours black with a tan head. Roasted malt aroma with some prominent notes of bread and dough. Medium/full body. Flavor is a mix of roasted and sweet doughy malt. A bit of yeast is noticeable. Pretty good, but I’ve had better.

Poured a deep black color, tan head with EXCELLENT retention. Aroma of rich dark roast and chocolate malt. Flavor was a very deep roast malt and chocolate, slight alcohol spiceness, slight carbonation with a semi creamy mouthfeel....Very flavorful beer!

Pours tan to brownish color, this beer has a good balance of hops and malt. Tasted a little grainy to me, probably for the amount of malt they use to brew this. All and all, I haven’t found a Samuel Smith’s that I haven’t liked, but I’ll go ahead and leave this on the shelf for someone else to try.

Pours a delicious looking dark dark brown with a hint of red and a large, tan/brown head. Smells like burnt toast and coffee, tastes of coffee, dark chocolate, with burnt notes. Finishes dry and with a bit of alcohol warmth.
