St Peters Cream Stout

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

thick malty caramel aroma dominates my nose, also a touch of peanut butter and dark chocolate. i kinda cheated on this one and tasted it before taking a good look at it and sniffing it out. the taste is a refreshing sweet stout with a minute amt of dryness on the finish. unfortunately, i didn’t see much head on this pour, and i was beginning to think it was out of date. there’s a little more carb than say, newcastle, but that’s about it. the flavor is still there though. it’s odd. not my fav, but definitely good for a stout.

Bottle, Majestic, Bicester, 23-12-06 in a St Peters mixed pack of four different dark beers. Poured pretty much black, some bitter chocolate aroma’s, taste was a little more restrained chocolate becoming more milk chocolatey but there were some coffee hints in a decent stout.

Poured cold into a pint glass very dark with a big creamy, nut colored head that disappeared quickly. Wonderfully full aroma of roasted malts, coffee, cocoa, bitter, and sour. First sip of cold beer was sour and disturbing, then it quickly turned into roasted coffee, cocoa, and malts again. Waited for it to warm up, but the only change was that the sourness lingered more.

16.9 oz bottle. Poured black with thin brown head. The aroma is mostly cream soda with lesser amounts of roasted and burnt malts. The flavor starts off semi sweet with coffee, roasted malts, a sense of cream soda and the introduction to the burnt and chocolate malts that follow. The rest of the taste into the after-bit is a rather nice mixture of burnt and chocolate malts.

50 cl bottle. Dark brown colour with a little white head. Aroma of mild liquoirice, mlat and some roastedness too. Also mild roasted flavour with hints of malt and sweetness.

Very dark stout with a quickly dissolving tan head. Bitter chocolate and coffee flavors result in a slow, complex drink. A bit too bitter in my opinion, but an enjoyable aroma and interesting flavor make it a worthwhile experience

Bottle. Super dark opaque brown with minimal lacing. Rich malty aroma, some hints of chocolate, nuts, and an obvious roasted overtone to all of it. More of the same in the mouth, obviously malty but with a dominant burnt toast body. Smooth and rich with a nice lingering bitteress.

So this one pours a basic black color with an extremely thin tan head that goes away in not time even with an aggressive pour. The aroma is full of rich coffee smells and is very roasty. The flavor is like that good smack in the face a cup of black coffee can give you followed by some lactic sweetness and a bit of chocolate. Extremely robust and enjoyable as all hell. This is a fantastic stout.
