Greetings! To start w/ one of my favorites - Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout

Hello gentlemen, hope everyone's doing well. It's a pleasure to be a part of a blog dedicated to one of my favorite hobbies in life - drinking good beer. Today is my one day off of the week so I thought what better way to spend it than to turn on the ball game, put my feet up, and enjoy one of my favorite beers out there. So let's get to it. Samuel Smith has a variety of stouts and ales but the Oatmeal Stout is in my opinion the most enjoyable. Although it is a stout, it has more of a brown ale feel to it, going down very smooth with that Belgian hoppiness to it (although it's a product of England), with just a hint of oatmeal aftertaste. Typically, I'd put this as more of a winter beer due to it's darker appearance and somewhat heavier feel, but I could drink this beer year round. The only thing is that it usually only comes in 18-22 oz bottles with a price tag of $3 - 6 a bottle making it a bit pricey to buy more than a few. Well, this is a start to many posts (and many more beers) so gentlemen, till then...
