Commercial Description:
Originally a drink for lactating mothers, oatmeal stout was described as nutritional on early labels. Oats are in the same family as barley, and a small addition yields great flavor. Popular in the late 1800’s, the last oatmeal stout was brewed before the First World War until Samuel Smith reintroduced this style in 1980.

Almost opaque, with an unusually silky texture and complex, medium-dry velvet palate. Bittersweet finish.

This is what strikes me as being the pinnacle of what can be achieved in a brewed beverage. It just tastes ’perfect’ whatever that is. I guess that’s different to everyone, but to me, its just very flavorful and hearty, with a good head. Its what I always dreamed of before I had it. Its what I had in mind when I first had Guinness and was dissappointed. All of the Samuel Smith’s brews I’ve tried are really high quality, but this one is my favorite tasting one. Of course these brews are also expensive, so if you just are looking for a buzz, and have a limited pocketbook, you’ll need to go for something cheaper.

Now this is one fine stout. Sweet, smoky flavor. Very smooth and balanced. Samuel Smith continues to impress me. ;)

My favorite beer in the whole world for nearly 20 years! A wonderful sweet stout with incredible smoothness and balance. The only challenge is to ensure that you get fresh bottles - these can get skunky if your supply is not fresh.

This is a truly amazing beer. A thick, dark beer with a thick light brown head. It has a very smooth taste, sweeter than your every day stout thanks to the oatmeal. Try this beer, you will like it
