Organic Chocolate Stout

Organic Chocolate Stout — Milk Stout | Samuel Smith’s Old Brewery, Tadcaster (Yorkshire)

Well water since 1758. Organic chocolate malt. Organic cocoa.

Samuel Smith’s Old Brewery’s Organic Chocolate Stout is a beer steeped in centuries of history. Brewed with water from Tadcaster’s original well — dug in 1758 and still in use, with hard water drawn from 85 feet underground — along with gently roasted organic chocolate malt and organic cocoa, it is the perfect combination of robust, luxurious chocolate: smooth, creamy, and enveloping.

Tasting profile

Black and opaque in the glass, with a creamy light hazelnut-colored head. The nose opens with intense, enveloping notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and caramel, alongside cappuccino nuances and a subtle underlying roastiness. On the palate, the opening is smooth, full-bodied, and velvety — true to the Milk Stout style: milky sweetness balanced by the roastiness of the chocolate malt. The body is robust but never heavy, with restrained carbonation and a creamy, dense mouthfeel that lingers. The finish is long and bittersweet, with cocoa, coffee, and a subtle fruity note completing the sip.

Who is Samuel Smith’s Brewery?

Samuel Smith’s is one of the breweries most deeply rooted in the brewing traditions of Yorkshire. In Tadcaster, beer is still delivered by horse-drawn carriage. The brewery still uses traditional square slate fermentation vessels and the same yeast strain since 1800. Some beers still undergo a conditioning phase in oak casks, built and repaired by a cooper who works full-time for the brewery. A living piece of British brewing history.
