Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout

Pros: Smooth, lot's of flavor just an all around good beer.
Cons: None except maybe the price.

I am not a beer drinker. I do not really care for beer. And writing about beer is not my specialty. So why am I you are probably wondering? Because I had the pleasure of tasting the most wonderful great tasting beer and I just felt the need to shout ...

Pros: perfect balance; slightly sweet; less bitter than other Stouts
Cons: the bottle, eventually, is empty

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout is a delicious, slightly sweet Stout beer, brewed by Samuel Smith Old Brewery, N. Yorks, England. A friend had heard me speak highly of it and bought me a bottle the other day. I hadn’t had one in several months, as Samuel...

Pros: Deliciously Malty and Silky
Cons: High Price

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout is an excellent, hearty beer that's brewed in North Yorkshire, England. This brewery, the oldest in Yorkshire, was established in 1758 and it produced this oatmeal stout until the late 1930's. Production stopped and this stle...

Pros: Complex beer is smooth and flavorful
Cons: Clear Glass Bottles

Though I am quite fond of beer, you can be sure I don't drink it for breakfast. If I did though, this might be the one I'd have. Oatmeal in your beer, instead of your bowl? Sure! Oatmeal stouts have been around for over a century, and there's a good ...

Pros: Great flavor, smooth drink
Cons: The effects of a well-lit store on a clear bottle on the top shelf

Sometimes, I have a love/hate relationship with Epinions. I get to publish my writings alongside those of much greater writers/reviewers. I also get to read a wide variety of reviews on many interesting things. I personally enjoy reading beer ...

Pros: Taste sensation, definitely in my top 5 list
Cons: Where have you been all my life?

You'd probably find it hard to believe that as a Yorkshireman, I didn't discover this Yorkshire brewed masterpiece until I moved to the USA. I've spent the three years I've been here convincing people of the greatness of Newcastle, Guinness, Caffrey's,...

Pros: great packaging, full aroma, oaty flavor, not as strong as Guinness
Cons: It's still a stout so it is quite strong. Hard to find.

I am passionate about beer. I've been all over the US and Europe looking for great beers and enjoying thousands of samples along the way. I think everyone has a favorite when it comes to beer. My personal favorite is a local beer called New Glarus ...

Pros: An acceptable second-rater
Cons: Merely an acceptable second-rater. Cloying

I have noted that the sawbones have so restricted me that I can quaff one only every fourth day. Needless to say, I am getting really picky about my imbibing. (Not to mention glad I never discarded a tasting note from my happier and more...

Pros: something different at very good at a very nice price
Cons: hard to find

This is a dark, almost black beer that is brewed in Tadcaster, England. It is fragrant and complex, and when you look at it and smell it, you will want to treat this drink like a fine wine. Take small sips, swish it around you mouth, and savor the...

Pros: incredible classic oatmeal stout
Cons: clear bottle, high price

Judging by the other glowing reviews of this stout, I may be preaching to the choir here…but so be it. Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout is my favorite stout on earth, hands down. There's just nothing like it. That lush, perfectly balanced blend of hops and...

Pros: silky, rich and delicious
Cons: none

Samuel Smith’s Celebrated Oatmeal Stout is truly amazing, wonderful and delicious. Yes, this is my favorite stout, and stout is one of my favorite styles of beer.

Open the bottle and pour an almost black liquid that forms a creamy head. It...

Pros: perfection in stout
Cons: very costly (are there crushed emeralds in it?)

In general, Eopinions reviewers tend to be much too liberal with five star ratings. Five stars should be reserved for products that are truly the pinnacle of their genre. I gave the beer that I most often drink, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, a four star...

Pros: Dark, complex, full flavoured
Cons: Not always easy to get hold of

I'm a stout fan (and am starting to get the waistline to prove it). I spent many of my student days drinking Beamish (the proper stuff not this horrible Beamish Red), with the odd pint of Murphy's or Guinness, and for a few years mistakenly believed that...

Pros: complex and flavorful, deliciously fantastic
Cons: a little expensive

The hardest thing for me to do while writing this review was to come up with a title. I try to be more descriptive when writing titles, however there's not enough room in this case.

First and foremost, Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout is not...

Pros: The epitome of stout
Cons: nothing at all

I was most certainly not a stout fan until I sampled this marvelous brew. Unimpressed by Guinness, I thought stout’s were a weird acquired taste, much like IPAs. Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal stout has led me to the land of the dark and heavy brews. I can...
