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.

Sampled in Boulder. A very nice stout with a crisp finish. Solid black color and consistent head.

Bottled, this beer pours thick black, with a light brown medium head. Great aroma: coffee, with cream and sugar. If there is such a thing as a breakfast beer, this is it. It has a very rich flavor: mocha, toffee, hops. It is not my favorite stout, but it is very nice - worth a second - but you may want to save room - it is very filling.

Old-ish bottle. The aroma is soft, malty, biscuity, caramel, quite sweet for a stout. The flavour is smooth and creamy, very nice. The beer has no real defining character (it may have lost it with age/ transit), but it is a pleasant English stout; not too sweet, not too malty.

Bottle 0,355l. Black as coal. A huge, lasting mocca colored fluffy head leaving patterns on the glass. Inviting aroma of coffe and milk chocolate. Soft mouthfeel. Well balanced. Complex flavor with metallic fruity notes, and a lasting aftertaste of coffee.Some dry bitterness. KI=5

Could this be the perfect beer? I couldn’t rate the apperance higher because I drank it from the bottle. I sure tasted like it looked good :-)
