(11.26.08) 12 oz. bottle: Black pour with small light brown head. Roasty aroma of coffee, milk chocolate. Creamy palate, typical of a sweet stout. Flavor is like the nose, milky, roasty, malty.

Full of Malts, caramel, some roasted coffee and a little bit chocolate. Creamy but not that syrup crap many Stout makers are passing off. Absolutely delicous. Just sampled a fresh batch from Oct. 08. It think it’s even better this year...

Sweet coffee and chocolate taste but in no way cloying, enjoyed this one in a way comparable to Founder’s Breakfast Stout.

Outstanding cream stout. Very nice, think body and head that stays for the whole glass. Nice flavor, but prefer a more flavorful coffee stout. Nice smooth finish. No bitterness like you get in some imperial stouts. Great winter beer I’ll get year in year out.

Thick creamy body, slight coffee smell. Tastes like a good milk stout, with a nice coffee finish. Doesn’t knock me over, but a decent brew.

Jjg226 (19) - Staten Island, New York, USA - MAY 5, 2013
Inky black with a thick, mocha head. Roasted/burnt malt prominent on the nose and palate. Rich mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. This stout is a crash course on malt! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Sweet on the nose, sweet on the taste. Good cream stout. Wish it was a little thicker.

Very smooth. Pours black with a brown head. Very creamy taste. Best served after dinner and in the winter. It’s a ’warmer’ tasting brew.

One of the best Cream Stout I have ever had. Very complex malt characteristics, mouthfeel was rich, and strong nose make it all around a winner!

Good stout, I think I prefer Kalamazoo stoiut better but it was tasty. Very dark, nice aroma...hints of chocolate & coffee. Taste was mild, I guess I was expecting more...still a nice stout.
