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.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours black with small dark brown highlights with one and a half inch light brown head that dies down quickly. Taste is chocolate malt, some espresso, hint of caramel malt, and a hint of hops in the finish.

Purchased at Woodman’s in Carpentersville, IL; enjoyed at my sisters after eating a late Thanksgiving dinner while watching the Bears game. Appearance is pitch black with very rich, creamy, light tan head. Aroma of chocolate and roasted malt, a bit of lactose. Taste is smooth, creamy, nutty finish, dark chocolate, roasted malt notes. Slight bitterness in the finish. Solid offering.

12 oz. bottle. Pours black with a 2 finger dark tan head and great lacing. The aroma is almost entirely roasted malt notes of chocolate and coffee. The flavor is very sweet up front, with very little char or burn. Finishes with a remarkably unpleasant sour taste. The palate is medium to heavy, smooth, with a little carbonation. Overall, this is a mediocre stout, with very little complexity or depth.

12 oz bottle, $2.05 @ Bert’s Better Beers, Hooksett, NH. Nice eye appeal into a pint glass. Nice ½ thick tan head sitting on deep brown/ black liquid. Nice spotty lace on the way down. Nice roasted coffee and light chocolate with a nice amount of sweetness. The roast helps balance it, nothing over the top. It has a long creamy, bitter sweet finish. I can’t tell you why I waited so long to try this. A very nice stout to session. I will have this again. It reminds of Sam Adams Chocolate Bock.

A 12oz bottle from Pick’s Liquors poured into an English Pint. This beer is a very dark brown with minimal off-white head. Aroma is roasty malt. It’s a bit too cold to properly taste but it’s medium bitter. Medium bodied with a creamy texture, soft carbonation and a long, coffee finish. Very strong coffee aftertaste. Overall it’s a pretty good beer. More like a coffee stout than a cream stout in my opinion. I’ll be buying this one again when winter comes along.

Cream Stout does not represent Boston Brewing at its best. In fact, it may be the worst I’ve come across from the brewer, thin, bland, and altogether unimpressive. Some chocolate and coffee comes through in the taste, but it’s all blown apart by the much-too-effervescent carbonation. Strange that a brewery that makes such a good Black Lager and Honey Porter stubs its toe on the Cream Stout. (12/21/08)

im not going to go on my usual rant about how with sam adams (boston beer company)’s huge budget and availability to brew some unbelievable beer while at the same time being able to brew the beer that keeps them in the #1 slot amongst "craft" brewers, if they can still be called craft brewers at this point, but they still come out with the same old crap, middle of the road, mediocre beers. i promise i wont say anything like that. this is a fine beer, its not going to knock your socks off, it doesnt have any unusual flavors or characteristics, it tastes just as it should (said with a hint of sarcasm). congrats sam adams, you have succeeded in finding the exact center of the street yet again.

12 oz. bottle. Best B4 Nov ’09. Well, let’s see. A nice sweet stout smell, maybe a touch of phenol as the malts aged, but it sits pretty well. Pours a solid black body, brown head with some geography to it. Taste has warming malts and sweetness. A touch of Guinness type sour. Sometimes the roastiness comes out a little too strong for a cream stout. Lots of prickly carbonation when a smoother mouthfeel would be preferred, but this does bring out the hops. Decent.
