Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Stout
Tadcaster, England

Great stout. I could actually taste the oatmeal. Wonderful thick brown head.

Pours a gorgeous, ample dark brownish head. Rich smoky stout aroma. Perfectly balanced stout flavor. This is perhaps the best stout I’ve had to date.

Re-rate: My rating will come down a bit here, but that's the beauty of learning about quality beer. Anyway, it is a dark, dark brown with a bubbly head. Immediate strong nose of oat and cereal. Some roast, meat malt as well. Tastes of roasted nuts, malts, oat. Some mild bitterness. Looses flavor as it sits and has a buttery, slippery type of mouthfeel that was unpleasant. Too short of a finish. Some good bitterness. Original: An amazingly tasteful beer that is smooth and easy to drink one after another. A definite must for any beer drinker.

A very good and different tasting stout beer. Not easy to come by but I drink it whenever is see it on the menu.

Nice frothy head,smooth flavor and creamy mouthfeel. Try serving with frosted miniwheats instead of chips or pretzels.

I couldn’t believe it was in a clear bottle After I poured it. A nice thick head sweet coffee smell.

Bought in the clear glass 550ml bottle ( why clear?) This beer looks pretty darn good right from the first pour..seems to pour heavy it musters a large tan frothy head..but that only lasts a minute of two before it dissapates down to a thick lace around the glass edge. The beer it self is a deep dark mahogany brown..with some ruby highlights...nice. the smell is malty and fresh..can maybe sense some oats. This beer has a great chewy long lasting tatse for one so low in alcohol..good job.. i taste some malt, some choclate ( milk chocolate for a change) some coffee undertones and a creamy taste right at the end..very well done. Mouthfeel is wonderfully smooth yet not lacking in taste bud tingling!! My Lord a very drinkable stout..if this were not so exspensive i could see me downing quita few of these most weekends!! Overall great beer.

Nice dark brown with a creamy tan head, great lacing, medium to full-bodied. Malty aroma as expected with hints of raisins and vanilla. Sweet tasting without being syrupy, great balance. The mouthfeel was heavenly, creamy with a minimum bite. A statement to the craft of the brewer. If there is better Oatmeal Stout I have yet to find it, Highly recommended!
