Golden brown colour, skunky german smell. Fairly smooth and mild ale. No extra seasonal characteristics though!

Sweet beer courtesy of the oatmeal, a great dark colour that looks great, and a full-bodied taste that makes it an all-around great beer!

For once a lighter Sam Smith beer that was not lightstruck! Still a thorughly average beer though. Pours a golden color with a thin white head and a little carbonation and thin lacing. Earthy, fruity and yeasty aroma. On this thin side and lacking in any obvious flavor. Unbalanced but drinkable, still I''ll go back to the Imperial Stout next time.

Bottled. Reddish amber with rich head. Flower aroma. Malty, dry and really hoppy. It also has that unmistakable Samuel Smith house character that I've loved since I first learned about British ales.

Unfortunately every bottle of this I have had has suffered from the clear bottle. I have never had a good one
