Samuel Smith's pioneered certified organic brewing in the mid-1990s, and this chocolate stout represents their commitment to natural ingredients. Brewed in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, using water from the brewery's original 85-foot well. Organic barley malt, cocoa extract and cane sugar form the foundation. The roasted grain provides structure, while the cocoa delivers a pronounced chocolate aroma and sweet palate. Samuel Smith's house yeast contributes subtle fruity notes that complement the cocoa character without overpowering it. The body is smooth and creamy rather than heavy, making the 5% ABV feel balanced and approachable. Sweet chocolate dominates both nose and finish, with minimal hop bitterness—a deliberate choice that favours the organic cocoa as the star.
