Brewed with well water (the original well, sunk in 1758, is still in use with the hard water is drawn from 85 feet underground), the gently roasted organic chocolate malt and organic cocoa impart a delicious, smooth and creamy character, with inviting deep flavours and a delightful finish - this is the perfect marriage of satisfying stout and luxurious chocolate.

Heaven in a Bottle!
I have a lot of respect for Samuel Smith's beers. I've found each I've tried to be interesting and worthwhile. Although I had a slight chuckle on how tempting an organic beer really is, the desire for another Samuel Smith stout overran any marketing criticism my brain may have had.
The stout came out dark brown. Somehow the chocolate smell seemed to get to my nose nearly as quickly as the light showing the color of the beer was received by my eyes. Very strong milk chocolate smell and taste. Mouthfeel was quite smooth with little carbonation and an almost chocolate milk-like texture.
Hands down the best chocolate-focused beer I've ever had. It is a shame that it isn't as cheap as Good People's Coffee Oatmeal stout, but well worth the money if you love your chocolatey stouts.
