I picked this up as part of a gift pack because I love Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout and for the included (pictured) pint glass. The gift set included an Oatmeal Stout, an India Ale, and a Nut Brown Ale for $12 so I had to jump at it.

The beer itself is very fruity, hints of pear and apple on the nose with a slight earthy hop character. The taste definitely matched with some bready malts in the foretaste to add to the scent profile. There’s nothing remarkable about this beer, but it’s a nice low alcohol beer to sit back and enjoy, I recommend it. -Mark
