Jan 23, 2009 There is a wonderful aroma of choclate, coffee and roast malt.
The beer pours to the most beautiful latte like head with small bubbles tracing up the edge of the glass into the head. The body of the beer is jet black and almost reflective in the glass.
The first taste of the beer is amazing, it starts with a sweet chocolate taste and moves across the palate to a crisp dry coffee finish, which lingers and lingers.

Jan 18, 2009 550ml bottle. Pours a black body with a half inch, tan, quickly fading head that remains pretty lacy. Aroma is distinctly "english." Berry fruits, smooth oats, light chocolate, and a faint english roast. Flavor is light and sweet. Has the smooth oatiness to it and mainly berry sweet. Underlying chocolate and a light roast. Leaves a minimal english spice, but not very bitter. Palate is light and carbonated while still velvety and swift. Overall, not my cup of tea. Not what I look for in a stout. Not bad, but disappointing.

Jan 17, 2009 Pours black with a small tan head that diminishes quickly. Taste is raisins, milk chocolate, sweet caramel. Aroma is the same. Silky mouthfeel with medium-low carbonation. A good oatmeal stout, drinkable and enjoyable - my favorite beer from samuel smith.

Jan 17, 2009 If forced to pick, probably my favorite brewery. The head is capuccino colored and big, with tightly nit bubbles. Not much aroma, just a hint of malt. Taste is sweet, and full of malty flavor, but it’s also very mellow. Palate is soft and silky, and feels great on the tongue. Not overly complicated, but one of my favorite stouts of all time.

Jan 16, 2009 [550ml bottle.] Opaque reddish brown body with a soft creamy cream head; rich roasted malt and chocolate aroma, slightly smokey; silky smooth texture with a bagfuls of roasted malts giving a complex mingling of flavours - nuts, smoke, toffee, chocolate, coffee and fruit are all there; well rounded sweet finish with a definite oaty feeling. An excellent stout.

Jan 14, 2009 Updated: Feb 27, 2009Wonderful beer. Will always be a favorite. Low in alcohol compared to some high octane imperials. This beer doesn’t need to change. Smooth as can be with just the right amount of malt and chocolate flavors. Thank you Sammy Smith for this classic.
