Another Sam Adams beer. Not sure if I'll get a chance to write about the beers this Holiday weekend, but I will be drinking one each day.
This beer has a dark malt coffee smell, with a hint of something roast. The color is pitch black, I think I could hold a light on the other side and still not see through this beer. There is a little bit of foam at the top of the glass but not much.
The taste is rich and dark, with lots of dark malt. The coffee taste is only present as an aftertaste, with a pinch of bitterness. A good amount of hops is used in this beer with some floral flavors mixed with the dark malts. There is a light refreshing taste to this beer which is nice from a beer that can be rather heavy with all the dark malt. This is a nice smooth beer like the name "Cream Stout" suggests.
I like this beer with a refreshing taste on a dark beer. This is a lot more than a normal stout, and I like a beer that takes a style and makes it better.
