Samuel Smith Taddy Porter


Meh.  There were a lot of licorice notes in this porter which is not my style at all.  Not a favorite.  Don't think I'll be getting this one again.  Turns out the rest of the world loves it (or so it seems).  Maybe you should try it and tell me if I'm wrong.

Check out the brewery's site for more info.
See if it's distributed near you and what others think at Rate Beer.

Samuel Smith Winter Welcome Ale



Not my favorite. It was ok but just plain tasting. Meh.  Limited edition so you may have already missed it.

Beer Advocate likes it more than I did.
Samuel Smith's info on the beer is here.

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout


Pip-pip cheerio!  This brew hales from England (see it says so on the label).

In advance of a snow day I picked this up at the grocery store last minute beer drinking in case I got snowed in.  Decided to open it and give it a try.  Definitely a lighter stout, which I find more with British breweries – I’m sure it’s supposed to be like that.  I enjoyed it and found it super easy to drink.  Since it’s readily available at my local Fred Meyer, I would definitely pick it up again.

Highly rated by the folks at Beer Advocate.
