Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout

Poured from a 550ml (a pint+) bottle into a clear gass tumbler. A one-finger light brown head. Leaves good amount of lacings. Initial impression is roasted malt sweetness, mild chocolate-coffee effect which is smoothed by the oatmeal. The hops are there but integrated so they are not a seperate taste. A very nice, rich stout that could easily substitute for a meal. Highly recommended.

Black as night with strafes of reddish hues in the light as it rests under a head of frothy light brown foam. The aroma is dominated by sweet and roasty notes. Caramel, coffee, chocolate, with dark fruit elements in the background like dates and raisins. In the mouth it starts slightly sweet, with a light mouthfeel and smooth soft carbonation. The flavor is rich with caramel and roasty elements. Towards the middle it turns milder, as the carbonation kicks up chocolate and fruit associations. Before finally ending with a gentle touch of bitterness, balancing out the sweetness nicely.

A nice looking dark stout with a tan, creamy head that lasts with nice lacing. I don’t get much of that roasty aroma from it, but the taste is quite full. A thick, chewy beer with a roasted, slightly chocolate flavor. Clean aftertaste. A fine stout.

Good stout overall. And the stout is one of my favorite types of beer. The aroma is very pleasing. The standard roastiness and chocalte notes, but very nice. The color has a dark brown/black tinge, but for a stout it was somewhat opaque;light could be seen through the beer. the taste is sweet, full bodied, roasty and malty. The mouthfeel is on the thick side. The palate is a tad bitter, probably from the bitersweet chocolate. This gives the beer a nice balance. Definitely enjoyable.

Chocolately full flavor. Cool smell. Pretty excellent tasting and looking. I dig it lots.

I have tried 3 stouts so far, Guinness, Ohara’s and Samuel Smiths. I enjoyed this beer, after opening the bottle I smelled some coffeeish smell and possibly some chocolate. The beer was dark with some red tones as well, and a long lasting head. The beer was smooth and creamy that was slightly cloying. Over all my new favorite stout.

bottle. this stuff smelled very bad but the taste knocked me out! loved the dark color and very smooth for a dark beer.it sits a tad heavy but the flavor is so darn good!
