Samuel Smith Old Brewery Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout Beer NV (550ml)
Samuel Smith’s Brewery at Tadcaster, founded in 1758, is the oldest brewery in Yorkshire, England, and one of the few remaining independent breweries in England. It is the last to utilize the classic “Yorkshire Square” system of fermentation: all ales are fermented in open-topped vessels made of slate. The rich Samuel Smith strain of yeast at The Old Brewery dates from the early 1900s. Hops are hand-weighed by the master hop blender, and the brewing water is drawn from the original well, sunk over 250 years ago. Innovators in Certified Organic beers, Samuel Smith began to ship the first organic beers to the US in the mid-1990s. After many months of test brews & intensive tasting, Sam Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout was released in September, 2012. It’s USDA Certified Organic. Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout has a full body, roasted barley flavor and fruity notes from the Samuel Smith yeast strain which support lush chocolate aroma, taste & finish. ("Theobroma cacao," appearing on the label, is the scientific name for the cacao tree, and the illustration is of the pod from this tree, source of chocolate.)

Rich, chocolatey, syrupy, light hop bitterness on finish. Much to like; it defines the stout style

Nice chocolate Stout, but it has a syrupy finish that I'm not a huge fan of tonight.

This chocolate stout is not kidding around. The chocolate flavor is not subtle - it drives the experience, and fortunately it tastes like good, real chocolate, not artificial flavoring. It also gives the beer a smooth, velvety finish that contrasts nicely with the slight bitterness from the stout. Grows on you the more of it you drink.

I've hit the mother-load of all chocolate stouts. The founders always get it right. Deep chocolate and dark roasted coffee bean action. Thick texture that allows for most probably the longest beer finish ever. Love it! $6 / 91pts

Very chocolate-y with perfect balance. Rich and stout-y too. A lovely example of the stout style.
