Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout

bottle: strong aroma, dark, muddy appearance. Strong oatmeal flavor, some after taste in the finish. Overall not bad, just not my favorite...

Very smooth, smells like roasted malts, nuts, chocolate.... The body is silky and the taste is sweet and chocolatey. Almost too creamy for me, the bottle size is too big for me to take in, better to share with a friend the next time.

Dark brown, Sweet, Dark chocolate, oats, roasted malts, dark fruits, creamy, smooth, with a slight bitter finish.

Oh .... yeah. Dark pour, soft but brilliant aroma, silky feel in the mouth. Creamy body. Complex series of flavors. Lovely aftertaste. Gimme more.

Bottle->plastic cup (all we had): Pours a large, rocky, off-white head that exhibits good lacing atop a black body. Aroma is of cereal, lemon, and horse blanket and a metallic aroma. The body is medium, the texture is thin, carbonation is fizzy, and the finish is metallic. The flavor’s duration is short, it is mildly sweet, lightly acidic and finishes like sour milk.

Poured a reddish black color with large head. Aroma is sweet like bakers chocolate and oats. Taste is smooth at first and leaves you with a slightly bitter tongue. Overall an excellent Stout and easy to drink.

550 mL bottle. Pours dark brown with a large off-white head. Aromas of dark fruit, dark chocolate, roastiness. Flavor is roasty, chocolate, sweet, hint of raisin. Creamy palate with a roasty chocolate finish. Mild lacing. Very nice stout.

I was EXTREMELY excited to try this beer but I have to admit that I was very disappointed. It hits the mouth almost like a soda, it’s very bubbly and carbonated for a stout. I’ll have to hope that I didn’t get a bad one and try it again in the future.
