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.

the best I’ve had to date but still searching for the best. It may look to stout but is very light fo the color. It has a sweet after taste. I would recommend drinking it not too cold. It allows you to taste all the flavors.

This is likely my favourite stout, possibly favourite beer at the moment. It’s dark and smooth, which is me all over. Bold coffee and charred something, don’t quite know what but it works. If you wanna get into semi-widely distributed stouts, start with this, and expect to work your way down. I think this beer is flawless.

In my humble opinion, there is no better moment than the first taste from a bottle of Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout. When the stout hits your palate, there is nothing smoother, creamier, and more satisfying than this beer. Very dark color, great head with wonderful lacing, a perfect beer all around. If you want to enjoy a beer on a casual summer night, this is the one.

Extremely good beer. Very rich flavor with heavy oatmeal taste. Slightly bitter but not over the top. Would highly recommend.

Black. Starts off strong then dissipates to a light finish. Malt chocolate taste that lingers in the mouth and then works its way down the throat. A Great beer.

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
