Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Stout
Tadcaster, England

This is the best beer I’ve ever had...If you like a full bodied stout with a full and complex roasted flavor, this beer is for you.

The Celebrated Oatmeal Stout is a deep, barely translucent, aubergine-colored ale topped with a huge, dry frothy head that looks the color of cinnamon sugar. The retention and lacing are tenacious. The aroma is of warm cookies, soft, sweet herbs and roasted malt. It’s very soft and even. A soft, heavy texture slides down the throat. Despite the rich, sweet flavor of this, the tounge is left a bit dry. The first flavor is sugar and caramel. Then comes an herbal element that is somewhere between fennel and tarragon; perhaps licorice. The lengthy and marked aftertaste is of chocolate malt. Yes, there is a reason this is an old favorite. They sure can make stouts in England.

Definately a favorite. Pricey but well worth it. Gotta love the presentation

12 oz at local pub. pours dark brown almost black with a creamy brownish head.tastes of caramel and oatmeal.finishes clean with an aftertaste of oats.exceptional brew, a must try.

I love this beer. It was very dark and had a nice thick, brown head with staying power. A very malty beer, and I could really taste, well, the oats. A thick drink with a strong, lingering finish.

While at a bar I requested a Guinness, but they didn’t have any. The bartender suggested Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout as an alternative, and thus I tasted my first oatmeal stout. This is a delicious, dark, silky, smooth, bready beer. Buy the 550ml bottle and sip it through the course of an evening.

This is my favorit stout to date of any style. Highly recomended. The oatmeal stands out and is distinguisable. Chocolate and carmell stand out. Awsome

Pours dark with good lacing. Avery nice complex beer. I love a good stout and this is one of the best. I f not perfect let me know.
