The Cappucino of beers. Roasty, smooth and sweet.
Samuel Adams® Cream Stout is a true cream stout, balancing body and sweetness with the natural spiciness of grain and hand selected English hops. Our Brewers use generous portions of roasted chocolate and caramel malts as well as unroasted barley to impart a fullness of body, a roasty malt character and rich, creamy head. Its dark mahogany color make it almost as easy on the eyes as it is on the palate.

bottle - somewhat creamy and quite smooth with strong roasted malt and coffee flavors. I’ve definitely had better sweet stouts, but this is alright and not too hard to find. Lacks complexity.

Bottled. Black opaque, brown mediumsized head. Toffee, caramel and burnt oak in aroma. Strong wooden flavour with hints of old coffee, also some soapy notes. Rich carbonation ruins the palate a bit.

Bottled (BB 11/2005)
Dark ruby, almost opaque color, nice creamy expresso head, lace. Aroma is chocolaty roasted and has cold coffee and tinfoil, some grassy hops, which are a bit out of date. Good medium to full body. Good roast, sweetness is not overwhelming. Chocolaty sweetish aftertaste with some mild late bitterness.

[At Fete de la Biere 2004, Lausanne] A dark brown almost black beer with a small lasting chocolate brown head. The aroma is sweet and roasted with notes of caramel - very nice. The flavor is roasted sweet with notes of coffee and a bitter end - a great flavor.

Pours a nice dark out of the bottle. No light shines through it. Nice tan head appears and sticks around for awhile. Aroma is really choclatey. Flavor is roasted and toasty malts. Very nice treat. One of Sam Adams better brews.

Bottle Pours very dark nice head that settles to a thin tan film. Nice lacing. Aroma is coffee and dark roasted grain. Taste is fairly bitter coffee, grassy, sawdust, woody. Carbonation is lively, feel is a bit thin but pleasant lingering aftertaste of burnt wood and coffee. lower ABV also helps with it beiing easy to drink Nice but not the thick heavy flavor/feel of the better stouts.

Paid $1.19 for a 12-oz single. Before I even open this, I must say, I haven't been a huge fan of the beers from Boston- but I keep trying new ones to see what the hype is all about. Pours nice! Deep dark brown, nearly black, with an inch head that looks like the froth of a rootbeer float. A decent smell. Deep and smokey. Taste is well.. just OK. It's cold coffee, but thick, burnt cold coffee, with a tinge of burnt toast in there. It's not bad, but I've certainly had better. A bit lacking carbonation as well... not exactly flat, but not exactly active. Drinkable... but again, a bit disappointed with another Boston Beer. I've got another single of something else in the fridge for tomorrow- hopefully that'll be my breakthrough.

This is a decent sweet stout, actually - respectable apearance, dark coffee aroma and flavor, with a moderate helping of roasted oats - surprising.

Thanks to Darkover for this one. This was actually a little better than I was expecting. Dark brown but not opaque with a medium thick and creamy beige head. Thin and sticky lacing. The aroma is roasted coffee and is slightly smoky. Medium-bodied and creamy with a nice mix of coffee, chocolate and caramel in the flavor. It is a little on the carbonated side unfortunately. The finish is mostly bitter with coffee and hops. Overall this is an admirable attempt at the style by Sam Adams.
