3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Dark brown, almost black with a nice tan head. Malty nose predicts the thick mouthfeel and malty flavor. Little hop flavor or bittering in evidence, as one would expect. Although I prefer much hoppier beers, I nonetheless enjoy an occasional sweet stout like this. It’s also a good introduction for folks who don’t like "dark beers." All in all, a pleasing and drinkable example of the style.

No lacing with a one inch head. Heavy roasted/toast taste and smell. And maybe a slight taste of butterscotch.

Very dark brown, tan dissipating head. Aroma of bready malt with lots of cocoa, light roast, some cola. Flavor of bready malt with a little toffee sweetness, chocolate, light roast, a little raisin, a roasty/grainy finish dries it out. Medium-full bodied and easy-drinking.

12oz bottle, from Party Source. Best before June 2013. Black color. Light brown head, leaves good lace. Smooth, lighter carbonation, kind of a creamy texture. More dry in the finish. Medium body, decent chewiness. Chocolate, cream, light roasted malt. Good lighter bitter taste, little sweet. Solid sweet stout. Nice balance. Not too sweet, still a satisfying amount of roast and bitterness.

My first Sam Adams offering. Pour from bottle. Lovely dark brown with thin tan head. Nice aroma of roasted malt, coffee, soy. I taste sweet and salt...umami? Thin creamy texture, soft carbonation. Slightly off-putting finish..soy/smoke? A bit of a disappointment to be honest.

Pours a dark brownish black from the bottle with fluffy tan head and good lacing. Aroma is light soy and slight lactose. Taste is coffee and that typical lactose from a cream stout, but smooth and easy to drink. Pretty solid, but nothing special.

12 oz bottle straight up. Roasted malt aroma some coffee. Smooth drinking with great flavor. Really good, lighter stout.
