St Peters Cream Stout

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

Bottle. This beer poured a deep dark brown, with very litttle head. The blend of this beer is definitely unique. A mix of burnt chocolate, crisp hops, and creamy sweet malt. Very good.

Poured a chestnut opaque black body with a thick brown-grey head that retained well. It smelled like cotton candy and burnt caramel. The taste was robust and lasting, chocolate earthy and slightly smokey. Yummy!

overall full and rich with a strong coffee character. bottle I had was somewhat flat

500 Ml bottle-Dark black color w/almost no head. Sweet floral hop aroma & up front flavor w/traces of cane sugar. Has some malt backbone to it, licorice, some fruit/citrus, & molasis. Had a definite creamy/smoked flavor & texture to it. Not heavy like a straight smoked, just in the background. This was a nice change of pace, wouldn’t drink it all the time. Not as good as their porter, but still enjoyable.

Pours black with a very small head. Mouthfeel is smooth but a bit on the thin side. Aroma has a lot of sweet and roasted malts. Also notes of liquorice, coffee and bread. Slightly smokey. Aftertaste is nicely bittersweet.

St. Peter’s Cream Stout 1/2 liter bottle Medium pour in an English Pint Recent brewing?(L7025 18:31), creamed 05/07 Poured black with a huge light brown frothy rocky mostly lasting head with good lacing. Smelt of strong sweet black licorice, fruity esters ( almost bananas), chocolate, cola. Taste was upfront strong sweet and bitter black licorice, cola, dried dark fruit and chocolate and burnt grain followed by a strong to harsh bitter burnt grain taste and moderate sweet raisins and molasses, and light grass hops on a long finish. Palate was medium to full bodied, creamy, softly carbonated and moderately astringent. Overall, this is a cream stout with lots of guts. The bitterness of a stout is still there, only a notch above the sweet aspect of the creaminess. Great balance, and a classic in my book. I only wish they hadn’t changed their bottle to a more classic round shape. I say go back to the old oval flask looking bottle!

500ml bottle
Pours a sinister dark black with hints of chestnut on the edges. Nice poofy light-tan head forms on pour, soon gives way to a two-bubble layer that leaves gobs of lace on the inside of the glass. Wonderfully tantalizing aroma of deep roasted grain, chocolate, molasses, licorice, apples, and pungent bitter hops with a slight piney edge. The flavor is dominated by the roast grains and piney bitter hops. Chocolate and molasses eventually cut through, bringing with them a hint of apple and a slight lactose sweetness. For a cream stout, the cream part sure does play a minor role. Full-bodied, thick palate with a slight graininess and a long, dry aftertaste. Yeh, this stuff is pretty damn good.

500ml bottle - Pours dark brown with a very thin tan head. Based on other reviews, the latter seems to vary a lot between bottles. It has a nice, ample aroma of dark roasted malts and chocolate with a little coffee in there too. The flavor is that roast malt and lots of dark chocolate. Unfortunately it’s on the watery side for a stout. The carbonation is quite low and the the mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. Good, but it could be better with more body. It’s not good enough for the $4.59 a bottle liquor store price around here.
