Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Stout
Tadcaster, England

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.

Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout is excellent. It pours black with a tan head and the aroma is of roasted malt, chocolate, and oats.

Pours a dark dark brown, opaque. 2 Finger, tan head.Aroma is mild, slightly sweet, and little bit floral. Taste is...admittedly complex. It seems like theres so much going on here. Caramel and/or coffee malts, something of a licorice taste. Then theres something a bit nutty. It certainly gets better as you go. I’m not completely sold on it, however it is good. Smooth. Tasty. Definitely a solid stout.

Pours black with a thick coffee head. aroma is rich malt and slightly sweet. Low carbonation and a rich body. Smooth maltiness with a light sweetness. Feels light on the stomach despite the good flavor. Nice stout.

This has been one of my favorite beers for a long, long time. Great looking, it’s dark brown with a strong off-white head. Subtle aromas of chocolate and oatmeal and sweet malt. Taste is consistent with the aroma, only more definite. Sweet aftertaste is pleasant, not overpowering. This beer has texture unlike anything else - very smooth, rich and creamy. A most agreeable drinking experience.
