Samuel Smiths Imperial Stout

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Imperial Stout
Tadcaster, England

Bottle at Yeoman’s Road Pub. There is no downside to this stout. It is the classic English style Imperial stout in look, smell, taste and mouthfeel. Soooooo drinkable.

A good stout, similar to their Oatmeal Stout but stronger. Nice aroma and a smooth, sweet flavor. Not the most complex Imperial, however. This one comes up short, IMO, of great Imperials like Bells Expedition or Victory Storm King.

[12 oz. bottle] Deep black color with a thick tan head. Samuel Smith stouts always look like they come in a black bottle, but turns out the bottle’s clear. Rich, roasted aroma with a smell that reminds me of liquor. Very sweet and chocolaty as well. Very nice roasted flavor with a wonderfully smooth malt and chocolate middle and a smooth and creamy finish that warms you on the way down.

Absolutely black with a thin brown head and a roasty, smokey nose. There is a subtle sweetness of dark chocolate and burnt caramel with roasted grains/coffee tastes and an almost smoked bacon flavor. Buttery mouthfeel with a stong bitter finish. Not as strong or as sweet as some Amereican imperials, but very drinkable and enjoyable.

Bottle. raisin, and heavy roasted malt aroma. heavenly! pitch black colour with a small mocha head. velvet smooth body, bold. This is a complex beer to say the least! Bittersweet chocolate finish. This is a fantastic Imperial Stout

Bottle 355 ml. Dark opague mahogany body. Small chocolate-brown head. Aromas of roasted sweet malts, chocolate and dark rum. Taste is much the same with molasses, coffee and licorice. Also nutty with a nice hopbitterness. Silky mouthfeel. Fullbodied and powerful, but still “light” and easy to drink.

caramel, candy, and chocolate aroma. black with a frothy brown head. flavor of chocolate and dark fruit. sugary toffee as well.

Very dark in color with a tan head. Aroma is chocolately. Very smooth beer. Really good. Roasty coffee flavors. Good.
