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.

Poured opaque brown, with a very slight but creamy tan head. Aroma is very similar to that of Mackeson XXX, with plenty of sweet malts and chocolate. Flavor is coffee with cream, chocolate, and roasted malts, with a nicely bitter hops finish. This is much better than I remember it being. Although not as full-bodied as many "micro" stouts, Sam Adams has done a fine job with the Cream Stout, and, if it is no longer being produced as has been rumored, this ale will be missed.

Great coloured head, and a nice black colour for the beer. Strong malty smell. Great flavour, hints of chocolate, coffee and definately burnt caramel. A nice taste, but on a bad note, it fades quickly. Still a great overall beer from a brewery that you can hardly go wrong with (except for the Triple Bock!)

Updated: Dark brown nearly opaque. Large pitted stiff large tan head. Head lasts until the end, glass covered in lace. Roasty and chocolatey aromatics, and light roastiness in flavor. Some hints of chocolate and plastic (black patent malt?) in flavor as well. Smooth and rich, with full mouthfeel. Generally leaning to the sweet side. One of the top beers from the Sam Adams line.

wasnt impressed at all. Too weak, definitely dont think it would have hurt to put some more malt/coffee roast in here. Leaves you wanting more, and i hate beers that do that. ok im probably being too harsh. it wasnt that bad. Looks the usual, thin, clear but in this case actually a dark brown. Fizzy, light, no complexity. 2004 bottle. Much better than I remember, still a bit on the lighter side, but there is a decent roastiness there that I enjoyed, quite bitter and oily. Amp up the sweetness and they could be on to something, because as it is, this just dosent have the balance or complexity I would like.

Very light aroma. Good body, smooth, quite strong coffee and roasted malt taste, somehow 'raw'. Palate with strong coffee character and a light sourness.

Dark burgundy colour. The aroma is creamy, almondy, and Oreo-like. Ultra sweet Vietnamese coffee, light roast on the palate. Fatty body…I have issues with that, but otherwise this is a serviceable sweet stout.
