Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout

Pours black with long-lived, cream-colored head. Scent is sweet chocolate, licorice, and fruit. The flavor is also sweet, almost sickly, with roasted oats and chocolate and fruit. A great balance is throughout the nose and flavor. The creamy palate perfectly compliments the well-rounded smooth taste. A sweet finish to a very nice beer.

Sampled at Pints for Pets. Pours a dark brown color with a light creamy head. The nose is sort of grainy and roasted, but has a bit of wet dog. Lots of oatmeal in the taste. The flavor is ok, but I was definitely disappointed. A sort of bittersweet molasses flavor. A decent body, but I thought it was a little thin.

A deep black with a thin tan head. Aroma of roated malt and biscuit. Flavor is a touch of sweetness with that roasted malt. A nice finish, good beer.

nice and dark with a rich tan head. slightly sweet with a rich coffee and mapo nose. some kind of fruit and nut combo with a touch of lacing and body out the wazoo. For wat it is it is nearly flawless.

12 oz bottle...poured very dark brown w/ a frothy tan head that yielded some lacing. The nose was malt, light coffee, toasted almonds. The flavors were light coffee, toasted nuts, cocoa. The palate was great. Not a heavy beer, with a quick, dry "tosted nut" flavor. Excellent!

aroma is roasted malt. pours almost black with tan head. flavor is also roasty and malty with some oats.

Bottle, Roasted malty aroma with a plum tinge. Fizzy head, off white in color. Fully diminishing head. Blackish amber color. Sweet initial flavor, medium body with a lively carbonation. Definitely over priced for what you get. Goose island or Bell’s will serve you much better.

Dark red colour. Small head. A quite good stout Some sweetness and chocolate taste.. Also some creaminess.
