St Peters Cream Stout

Very good looking beer. Poured a dark black with a light tan, creamy head of ample size and staying power. RIch aroma of malt, chocolate, and a sweetness. Full in the mouth with a slightly bitter finish.

Nice... Poured black with a caramel colored head. Definite dark chocolate notes with a touch of sweetness. Aroma is that of dark chocolate also... amazing. I don’t know why they call this a cream stout. Definitely worthy of future purchases.

The amazing aroma was evident as soon as I opened the bottle, and as I poured the aroma only got stronger. The initial impression I got was of caramel/molasses, coffee and hops. The pour was beautiful, a pitch black liquid with a thick dark tan head. The flavors are quite balanced, and I experienced four distinct phases. 1) initial hop taste that drowned out everything else 2) then then coffee, and molasses/caramel come through 3) the hops kicked in again right at the back of my tongue 4) a light coffee aftertaste. A very medium bodied stout, but creamy (as it should be) and to me finished slightly bitter because of the hops. Quite an excellent stout, extremely traditional. My first venture into the St. Peters line, and it won’t be my last.

A textbook English stout. Very mild and toffee like in aroma and flavor. It goes down very smooth and the body isn’t as heavy as you think it’d be. The mouthfeel is creamy (duh) with a crisp aftertaste. This would be a good example of stout to show to people who have not tasted good dark beer before.

Bottle picked out by The Beer Wench. Pours pitch black with a rather large, foamy dark tan head. Aroma of molasses with a bit of licorice thrown in for good measure. Initial mouthfeel is a pleasant sweet offering. The roasty, bitter coffee notes come out at the back of the palate. Interesting beer.

Funky green 50 cl. flask bottle. Pours pitch black, can’t see sunlight through this brew. A brown head leaves a nice lacing. Smells of medium roast coffee and chocolate. The taste reminds me of medium rosted illy coffee with a shot of milk chocolate syrup. Fairly light bodied for a stout. Finishes dry with a black coffee flavor. Oct 2004

The color was dark brown/black. The head was medium tan and creamy. The aroma was sweet malt, molasses, slight coffee, and some roast. The flavor was a little weak, coffee, roast, and sweet malt. The palate was smooth and the finish, a little abrupt.

Pours dark ruby brown out of the bottle and sits dark black in the glass. The head is thick creamy and brown, look nitro. The aroma is rich, sweet, slight chocolate, and mostly caramel. The flavor shows milk and bittersweet chocolate, caramel, earthy notes, light hop tones, and burnt coffee. The palate is smooth with light carbonation. Definitely English.
