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.

One of my all-time favs. i agree with what some people are saying with lacking complexity, but that is one of the reasons i love this beer. i can drink them continuously! pours like delicious chocolate, strong, malty aroma, starts out silky smooth and finishes the same way, chocolate and slightly sweet molasses flavors a rich malt. great with italian food.

This is by far my favourite beer. It doesn’t have a very strong aroma, but the taste makes up for it. The taste is dark, nutty and reminiscent of roasted vegetables, but it’s not overly bitter either. It’s also very thick, but smooth and not syrupy. Overall, you can’t get a better stout than this.

My favourite beer ever. A great colour, aroma and texture. Very smooth and creamy taste. Poors beautifully with a dark color and an offwhite head.

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

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.
