Oatmeal Stout was one of the first beers that really caught my attention but as my tastes have altered, I've started to find it a bit sweet.Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-44960556521874990502009-04-09T11:10:00.000+01:002009-04-09T11:10:00.000+01:00355ml bottles are the export size, originally mean...355ml bottles are the export size, originally meant for the US, but SamSmiths did not bother with a 330ml version for Europe. Beyond those four, we also get Nut Brown Ale, Organic Ale and Organic lager in 355ml in Switzerland, whilst we get the Winter Welcome in 550ml (so-called "metric pint").<BR/>An interesting point is that Samuel Smiths have switched from clear to brown glass three years or so ago and that it was accompanied with a clear improvement in general crispness of the beer. (The pale ale was often a little bit skunky, for instance)Laurent Moussonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-41307700310070766102009-04-09T10:07:00.000+01:002009-04-09T10:07:00.000+01:00You do realise that the £4 pint is a bargain-basem...You do realise that the £4 pint is a bargain-basement dream for some us, don't you?The Beer Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105708522526153528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-15050500706104378562009-04-09T08:37:00.000+01:002009-04-09T08:37:00.000+01:00I've not seen these 355ml bottles before, we get t...I've not seen these 355ml bottles before, we get them in 500ml (except for the Imperial Stout) which is a much better drinking size.<BR/><BR/>I personally love the oatmeal stout and think it's excellent. The Organic Best is another cracker and if you ever see the pure brewed lager that's great too - I like the whole range to be honest! And in a city of £4-a-pint, if you go to a Sam Smith's pub in London you can get the Old Brewery Bitter for less than £2!Mark Dredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421095862178324693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-88532402390523890412009-04-09T08:16:00.000+01:002009-04-09T08:16:00.000+01:00The Imperial Stout is one of my favourite beers, u...The Imperial Stout is one of my favourite beers, unfortunately I think that my experience of the others was tainted due to soapy residue on the glasses - guess I will just have to try them all again!Alistair Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929927359428659775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-43363614280366612602009-04-09T08:13:00.000+01:002009-04-09T08:13:00.000+01:00Horses for courses on the Oatmeal stout, I love it...Horses for courses on the Oatmeal stout, I love it and have gone back for more after finding it recently; though it's fearsomely expensive here in Australia (about $10).
