COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This English style of beer, also known as Sweet Stout or Cream Stout, first appeared in London in the late 1800’s. The early brewers touted the health benefits of the milk sugar in this beer which today relates mainly to the increased amount of calories(no real health benefits…sorry). The milk sugar adds a well rounded sweetness to this dark beer and makes it an outstanding, year ‘round stout.

Bottle @ De Molen’s 2nd tuesday tasting, hosted by dEnk. Nitro version. Dark brown to black pour, creamy off-white head. Aroma of chocolate milk, coffee, caramel and cream. Flavor is very smooth and creamy with loads of milky chocolate and coffee. Nice brew.

SamP01 (357) - New Jersey, USA - MAY 13, 2013
Pours a deep dark brown with a small brown head and good lacing. Aroma is of sweet mildly toasted caramel malt and chocolate. Taste of sweet dark caramel malt mildly toasted, come cacao and milk chocolate, light bitterness. A medium bodied, creamy and smooth body on the palate. Finished with some lightly toasted caramel malt, some cacao flavor, and sweet milk chocolate with some light bitterness for balance. Its a good drinking after dinner brew.

Pours dark brown with quickly diminishing brown head. Roasted malt aromas with some sweetness. Sweet roasted malt flavours with a hint of coffee. Overall a decent sweet stout.

Brouwerij (414) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - MAY 13, 2013
Bottle. Pours a dark brown with minimal coarse, light brown head. Settles quickly with essentially no lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, dark malt, slightly smoked, sweet, and creamy. Flavor is very sweet, lactose, with a mildly roasted, licorice, chocolatey, coffee, vanilla finish. Nice balance of sweet and roast. DIfferent flavors seem to come out with each sip. Soft carbonation, medium to full body, and a smooth texture. An enjoyable sweet stout.

kdm1984 (433) - Missouri, USA - MAY 12, 2013
Aroma of licorice, tar, cocoa, and milk - very neat. Head doesn’t last long. Nice blend of cocoa bitterness and milk. Medium-bodied. Good lingering bitter aftertaste. Very nice and balanced sweet stout.

RobinV (37) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 12, 2013
Smells smoked, roasted, slightly sweet. Great dark red colour, nice light-brown pillowy head, excellent lacing. Full medium bodied flavor. Sweet, roasted and creamy; none too bitter. Hints of roast malt, chocolate, coffee, vanilla. Nice finish: like coffee, slightly bitter, but still creamy.

Miked1687 (223) - Buffalo, New York, USA - MAY 11, 2013
Poured from a bottle into snifter. Near black pour with a minimal light brown head. Aroma is big on milk chocolate, cereal, and some light coffee. Taste is coffee and cereal. Sweet, but a bit watery in the finish. The mouth feel is smooth and creamy, but it is thin and a bit disappointing.
