I have friends who like the IPAs, but I find them too bitter and strong for me. Too much aftertaste to enjoy with food.

Frankly, when I come in the house from mowing, the lighter the beer, the better.

What are some other brands of Oatmeal Stout? Never heard of the Samuel Smith. Sounds cardiac friendly! Not going to put my dessert in it though.

Thanks for the tips!

Samuel Smiths is imported from the UK. Oatmeal stouts are big and chewy, or at least they should be. Rich smokey flavor almost coffee like and oatmeal in the grain bill adds a oily complexity to the flavor making it full. In your neck of the woods you might check out these places. If they do not have something like an oatmeal stout the brewer should know where to find them.
