Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout
355ml bottle A- Pours a very dark deep brown, almost black. A two finger soft light brown head leaves a good amount of lacing on the glass S- Delicate but quite assertive aroma of sweet malts, with nut, coffee and liquorice notes T- Malts on the sweet side with a very delicate creamy nut feel and a hint of roastiness to them. Some classic stout notes of coffee and dark chocolate, along with some liquorice. Very sweet overall, the oat malts are definitely quite assertive, but despite their strong character they also bring an amazingly delicate creaminess and the beer never feels too sweet. Hops just bring balance, with maybe a faint hint of tea-like bitterness M- Possibly the softest beer i ever had. The creamy, dense, delicate mouthfeel lasts on both palate and tongue for seconds, while flavours spread all over the mouth. The beer feels both delicate and big in body O- Highly drinkable. Thick, strong in body and flavour but still very delicate on your mouth. Wonderful
