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.

Poured from the new nitro bottle into pint glass. Nice "cascade foam", ala Guinness, followed by a nice firm lasting "nitro head". Very appealing color and coffee chocolate nose. Overall, a fine example of a sweet stout and very drinkable. Good job Left Hand!

Good stuff. Smooth coffee like flavor. Not much hoppiness. Be careful because you can pound these. Got at whole foods

Nitro. From bottle into pint glass. Pours a dark brown, nearly black with a three finger creamy head. The pour is reminiscent of Guinness. Smells of roasted malts with some caramel sweetness coming through. Tastes about the same with the flavor slightly muted from the nitro. MF is velvety smooth. Overall, this stout is very easy drinking and I could easily drink several.
