St Peters Cream Stout

Brewed by St Peters (UK)
Style: Stout
Bungay, England

This stout poured the usual black colour with a nice tan smooth creamy head. To the nose you could smell scents of cream, cocoa, coffee, toffee and ripe fruit. First taste was smooth with flavours of an old english cough candy called Melloids. Slightly hoppy and bitter, initially a comination of coffee and chocolate but the overall flavour of chocolate wqasn’t prodominate. The finish is slightly smokey and the palate is a burnt malt flavour with a slight cocoa flavour.

Bottle: Poured a thick black color with a bubbly beige head. The aroma is roasted malt with dark chocolate. The taste is sweet with chocolate but finishes a bit dry and bitter.

Pours a black opaque body with bubbly brown head that leaves a good amount of lacing. Burnt malt aroma with some toast and vanilla. Full, creamy body with slippery texture. Roasted malt and coffee flavors and some hints of dark chocolate. Finishes slightly sweet and dry with a short, bitter bite.

Had this beer on 9/15/2003. Aroma is a rich sweet roasted scent. Color is a solid black with fizzy carbonation and thin brown head. Taste is smooth and roasted. Starting with a full body that goes down with a creamy feel and roasted flavor. Finish takes this roasted flavor and turns it sweet with a slight bite. In the end it leaves you with a mild bitterness. This is by far the best beer that I have had from St.Peter’s.

Pours black with zero head. Aromas of burnt malt also some molasses and roasted. Smells like it could be pretty sweet. Flavor is very bold but nicely rounded. Burnt flavors but not acidic. Smooth and creamy body but those burnt flavors still linger in the finish. Bitterness quickly hits but then instantaneously subsides. Very solid stout though it tastes slightly stale.

Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of dark bread, molasses and burnt, light hop aroma of perfume and light earth for the yeast, with tar, licorice and cola in the background. Head is small, brown and fizzy which quickly diminishes and has no lacing. Color is black like flat Pepsi. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic and the extra long finish is lightly acidic and heavily bitter. Palate is medium, creamy bordering on syrupy, and the carbonation is lively to fizzy with a astringent finish. This beer definitely needs to warm up. Rich and bold, it would make a great cigar accompaniment.

Bottiglia da 50cl all’Exultate, accompagnata dai soliti "stuzzichini" (pane, salame, formaggio, tortine di bietola, arachidi - anche se queste ultime le lascio quasi sempre); versa colore marrone scurissimo con schiuma marrone densa e cremosa. Aroma dolce cioccolato e caffè, nel sapore prevale quest’ultimo con un finale piacevolmente luppolato. Ottimo corpo. Fantastica.

Pretty run of the mill stout with a the typical sweet and sour tank of lactose. Decent, t hardly transcendent.
