Beer Review: Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout

Overall (8.6/10) - Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout is a delicious and full flavored chocolate stout that I would go out of my way to purchase. It has a sweet chocolate flavor and is smooth from beginning to end. Samuel Smith's is brewed in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, England. It is Yorkshire's oldest brewery, founded in 1758.

Appearance (1.6/2.0) - Thick head with nice lacing, caramel color foam, dark black body.

Smell (1.6/2.0) - Robust and sweet, not floral, you can smell the cocoa chocolate.

Taste (3.7/4.0) - Amazing and instant chocolate flavor. Sweet, smooth, and almost malty. Very strong front end with a more mild yet still strong finish, lightly metallic.

Mouth Feel (1.7/2.0) - Lightly carbonated, thick, smooth, and malt-like

Pairing - A thick steak cooked medium rare, baked potato with butter and lightly salted. Would also be a good dessert beer with a pastry.
