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.

From Nov 2006
Poured from 12oz bottle(room temp-best by Dec 2006) a very dark brown with reddish hues with a smallish head of foam that shrank to a solid layer and then just a fine ring around the edge of the glass with lacing.
The smell has abundance of roasted and sweet malt and is quite nice.
The taste, initially, has roasted malt and some sweetness followed closely by a nice flavour of dark chocolate that gives it a bitterness that offsets and balances the sweet from this Sweet Stout very well. The finish returns to sweet malt and makes for a very nice aftertaste. Good stuff! I'll see if I can get a hold of a fresher batch and compare...
Bottom line: A *very* tasty sample of the style that I can easily recommend.

(Bottle, 0.355 l, at Silja Symphony, 20161024) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had burnt malts, creaminess and metal. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, burnt malts, creaminess, ash and bitterness. Aftertaste was burnt and bitter. A decent soft stout. Bit watery.

Süßlicher, trocken malziger Beginn. Cremig würzig, Röstnoten, etwas Karamell. Trocken herber Mittelteil, der aber weiter durch die Malzigkeit dominiert wird. Langer röstiger Nachhall, erdig. 10/11/11/11/8/11

35,5cl bottle from SuperAlko, Tallinn. Pours very dark brown with a modest, beige head. Roasty aroma with some spicy and slightly wooden notes, chocolate, dark dried fruits and caramel. Medium sweet with roasty flavours and a mild bitterness. Enjoyable.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from One Stop Market. Aroma is roasted caramel malts, cocoa nibs. Appearance is dark reddish-brown (almost opaque) with finger-width foamy beige head with decent retention and lacing. Taste is as aroma. Palate is medium-to-full bodied with thin, creamy texture, soft carbonation and roasted lightly bitter dry finish. Overall, a pretty straightforward offering without a lot of complexity. But, it’s a good straightforward offering.
