He replied: "Just about everything.' Me: "Can you make a recomendation" He: "Sam's Taddy" seems to be constantly running out of stock." So I bought a 4 pack of it and went home. First mistake I made was having/ drinking the bottle, straight from the bottle! Still, it tasted (and smelled) like liquid WOO HOO! It made Guiness taste like the horse that made Coors! The next day, I poured ANOTHER into a real beer GLASS, and became Stunned with the flavor and smell! Problem was, it so SO beautiful, SO SMOOTH, so ( I can't descibe) that it went down so very swiftly! THIS is a VERY nice beer! I asked my local beer guy: “What’s better then Guiness Extra Stout , as I like the darker beers.”
He replied: “Just about everything.’

Me: “Can you make a recomendation”

He: “Sam’s Taddy” seems to be constantly running out of stock.”

It made Guiness taste like the horse that made Coors!

The next day, I poured ANOTHER into a real beer GLASS, and became Stunned with the flavor and smell!

Problem was, it so SO beautiful, SO SMOOTH, so ( I can’t descibe) that it went down so very swiftly!

THIS is a VERY nice beer!

Sam Smiths' beers are usually exceptional - they are very traditional, have hardly any web prescence and thier beers, sold at thier pubs, are usually spot on in terms of taste and value. Very consistently good - and that's hard to find sometimes in brewers. Yeah, I hear you on this one.

I'll have to give it a try. I wasn't as blown away by their Oatmeal Stout as you all were, but it was good. I've herad great things about the tsddy porter, so time to give it a go as they say in Britain. .-= Don´s last blog ..<a href="http://beerandwhiskeybros.com/2010/04/25/its-five-oclock-somewhere/" rel="nofollow">Its Five O’Clock Somewhere…</a> =-.

Here in the UK they have their own chain of pubs that sell Samuel Smiths ales exclusively. They take that exclusivity to extremes with brands like Coke being replaced by their own cola, but the prices in their pubs are so competitive and the beers so good you can excuse them anything. I know of guys who travel into London with a 'Sammy Smiths' pub crawl clearly marked out, usually about ten pubs, starting Saturday lunchtime and finishing... well I'm not sure they can recall finishing! As Scott observes, damn fine beer, and yes (for once) the Germans are right 'Won Der Ful'!
