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.

pours dark brown. Not as black as expected. Thin tan head. Aroma was nice but not strong. The beer seemed a little thin to stand up to the added sweetness of the lactose. Not as good as duck rabbit for a true milk stout, and definitly not as good as bells 2x cream.

Attractive, rich sweet stout with very little aroma but a smooth sweet chocolate punch hits the taster on the first sip and allows them a very pleasant ride all the way to the bottom of the pint class. Give this one a try.

Brown in color with a decent tannish colored head. Slight coffee and toastines in the smell. Creamy and smooth. Easy to drink. A little sweetness.

Pours a dark, opaque brown, with medium-small light brown head. Aroma is immediately of coffee with plenty of sugar and cream, and bit of nuttiness. The taste follows suit. The taste (for me) progressed from a very nutty and roasty/roasted malt, and then a toffee/coffee/cream/sweet taste dominated, with the last notes lingering being espresso/coffee. As to palate, it was very smooth and creamy, just slightly carbonated and finishes smooth with some bitterness. Overall, a stout worth paying for.

morning coffee aroma, black center, chestnut edges. 3 finger head of dusted white, fair lacing. pretty sweet, nearly cloying. good body, but the concentrated thickness hurts the experience for me.

Bottle. Clear dark red brown color with a large, creamy, excellent lacing, mostly lasting, beige head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, milk chocolate, mocca, notes of vanilla. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily - creamy, carbonation is soft. (060208)
