Jul 15, 2008 Opaque black with a long lasting off-white head. Mild roasted aroma. Taste is slightly bitter with a non-bitter finish and a sense of the oatmeal...drinks like a meal. Quite a good stout and a great alternative to the usual Guinness, especially at the low prices (under $3 USD for a Pint bottle) this can be had for. Will recommend this to all stout drinkers.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours very dark brown with a tan head. Sweet aroma, with bread, dough, oats, and coffee. Medium body, smooth, a little thin for a stout. Flavor is way more roasted than the aroma lets on, with notes of coffee, toast, and grass. A great beer, usually my dinner beer of choice.

Jul 10, 2008 Bottle 50 cl. Pours a dark brown with a light brown head. The nose is pale with tofee notes. The taste is more vinous than i remember but still with hints of the oats, chockolate and cofee. It has a rather bitter finish. For stouts I prefer a heavyer and thicker palate - this one is too waterish

Jul 10, 2008 A smooth oatmeal stout but it lacks the backbone and full bodiedness I would like in a stout. The color was nice and the head was good. It was good and I would go back here but it just didn’t sit on my palate long enough though when it was there it was tasty for a bit.

Jul 6, 2008 This dark brown ale poured with a fluffy tan head and an oatmeal aroma. The flavor is chocolate malt with a bready oatmeal presence, a bitter coffee finish and a bit of carbonation.

Jul 4, 2008 Always reliable Sam Smith. Pours a black/brown, light tan colored head. Smells of a slightly overcooked oatmeal cookie. Nice roast coffee and chocolatey tones. Just enough carbonation. Warms very well.

Jul 1, 2008 Pours a dark brown almost black with a thick creamy head. Aroma is sweet and malty but has some fruity notes. Flavor very sweet and creamy. Very bready in the start but has some fruit tartness in the finish. Full bodied and thick, it sticks the whole way down to a nice bitter finish. A great example of an oatmeal stout that isn’t too overwhelming.
