Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Stout
Tadcaster, England

Bottle poured into a pilsner style glass. Poured a very dark brown, almost black, with a good sized tan head. Very good lacing. Aroma was very malty and bready. Like slightly burnt toast and coffe. Taste was fantastic. Very coffee like with a hint of oats. A little bitterness at the end... barely noticeable. Very smooth and rich. I was very impressed, this has moved up to the top of my favorites list.

Bottle poured and let a nice head develop. Was a great choice to try being the 1st from Sam Smith I had. It had a great body and lasting flavor to it. Not overpowering at all.

wow. This beer is like a nice dessert after dinner. I challenge any beer to be better than this, and hold every beer I drink to this standard if it wants to rank any higher. The body is a nice thick dark body, with a mocha colored head. the aroma is a roasty oat smell. Surprising this has a bit of a sweet flavor, and the oats are definitely present, chocolate, and roasty nut overtone are in the finish. It goes down very smooth, with just a kick of bitterness at the very end. Everything is perfectly blended. This just may be a perfect beer.

550ml bottle. Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout. This is the one that started it all for me. My dad would purchase a few of these every now and then to share, and as a result, I began to develop a liking of dark beers as a teenager. It pours opaque brown/black with a marvelous tan head. Aroma of sweet roasted malts with hints of caramel, chocolate and fruits. The flavor is outstanding. Initially it’s sweet roasted malts, later followed by the taste of dark fruit, chocolate, coffee and hint of dry hop bitterness. Full of flavor that does not overwhelm. Extremely smooth and creamy and incredibly easy to drink. While this is not the absolute best beer that I’ve had, it is simply a classic and one of finest examples of the style. Thanks Dad.
