Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout

Definitely one of my favorites from this brewery. Smooth nutty aroma with hints of caramel and chocolate. Very smooth on the palate, begins malty and leaves a nice rich lingering taste. Not too heavy and really quite nice overall.

This beer pours a perfect pint from the bottle. It is reddish brown with a foamy tan head and smells of hay and oats. My favorite part of the beer is the hearty, yet smooth and silky, feel in my mouth.

Bought this bottle in Michigan and drank it in Ireland-ironically enough it travelled to the states after being brewed in Englad-lots of miles on this one. Very dark brown, almost black pour, with a 1 finger nice off-white head that turns into a nice ring around the glass. Some nice malted aromas with some caramel and sweet tones too for your nose. Makes the first sip anticipation mouth-watering. Very smooth and rich as it goes down-all of the aromas are pleasant in the mouth along with a bit of toffee/coffee. I dont get too much body initially as I taste it, but it is full when you are able to take it all in. The finish is nice and smooth too and leaves a great taste in your mouth that isnt too strong-makes you want to drink again. This wasn’t as thick and full as I was expecting it to be more, but rather smooth and easy-going. I would definitely look to try more of this and recommend it to others.

Pitch black pour, potent aroma of almonds and oatmeal. . good lace. Smooth beyond belief, im so impressed by this. I was expecting a meh offering. However as far as sweetstouts go, This is the best ive ever had

Pours black, with a smallish light brown head. Smells of alot of dark fruit here, I got some substantial banana in there. Some sweet maltiness backs up the dark fruit as well. The flavor has a really good dose of that banana and dark fruit as well. The dark malts and light chocolate seemed to keep it somewhat balanced and keep it from being overly fruity. Amost had some German and Belgian quad characters to it. Pretty good. Nice body. I know its a sweet stout, but maybe just a little too much for my taste though.

My favorite Oatmeal Stout to date, with a rich, enticing malty aroma, very full mouthfeel, dark fruity flavors, and nice balance of hop bitterness and rich malty sweetness.

Let this stuff breathe - on first pour it tasted metallic. This went away quickly, but you don’t want that to be your first impression. Poured a dark black with lots of tan head. Has a deep, dark malty flavor. Very earthy flavors - hard to put a finger on it. I’ve had this before and it always takes me by surprise.

This is a nice roasty, earthy oatmeal stout. Give Sammy a try. You won’t be sorry.
