They look great! Hooked again, eh?

How do you like the Oatmeal Stout FO? Does it smell like beer -- or better??

They are all so pretty, but I love that green one!

It doesn't smell exactly like beer, more like some kind of sweet bread/cake that has beer in it. An "edible" smell. I do like it, but it got kind of overpowering while the soaps were drying for the first few days. There was a kind of ammonia note that I didn't notice OOB, but that seems to be dissipating with time (that batch was made two weeks ago).

Beautiful soap! Love the colours, and the simplicity of the shape!
