This is YUMMY all year round and has been known to convert non-beer drinkers to devotees instantaneously. I call it a "Black Velvet" and I think that you may well call it surprisingly tasty... jsut be sure to whip this concoxion up in a Heavy, Frosted Mug or a Properly Chilled Pint Glass. Enjoy!

After a few more of these big, complex beers, go back and try a single Coors/Bud/Miller Light. It's like going back to slices of Kraft "American cheese" after discovering Stilton.

I'm a huge fan of Sammy Smith's beers. Lager in the summertime; this Oatmeal Stout in the winter. The Nut Brown Ale (great with a thick, charred hamburger), Taddy Porter, and Imperial Stout are all very well-made. The Oatmeal Stout also makes an excellent breakfast (though I can't speak to its cholesterol-lowering properties). Great description. I’m a huge fan of Sammy Smith’s beers.
