From my own memory (and I've not had the Youngs for a while), your thinking rings true. Good plan! From my own memory (and I’ve not had the Youngs for a while), your thinking rings true.

I'd probably give the nod to SS as a better beer overall simply because I like a lot of different flavors to chew on, but Young's has (had) a clear and purposeful brew that did its thing very well. That roasted flavor was excellent! I'll have to bump the Samuel Smith's up in my queue so as to better compare them. I like them both, but Samuel Smith’s is more complex and has a sweeter taste.

Nice review Andy. I had no idea this beer was being discontinued... it's such a shame. I'm glad you mentioned it though; I'll have to try and pick up a final bottle. How do you rate it compared to the Samuel Smith's Oatmeal? “I began to drink more slowly, savoring every sip of charcoal, coffee, and semi-sweet chocolate, admiring the transition between milky smoothness to roasty malt.”
