Sam Adams Cream Stout


Let me tell you, I really missed the Cream Stout in the Holiday Classics variety pack. Cream Stout is a great winter brew. The head quickly dissipated when poured, the color is dark, dark, brown, almost black. There's a hint of hoppiness and a rich chocolaty flavor, but not too sweet. I'm a big fan of stouts, and this is one of the best that I've ever had...a ten on a scale of ten.

I wrote this review over 3 years ago, and it seems like I was over-enthusiastic. Sam Adams Cream Stout is a fine beer, but I've had many stouts that exceed it. Tasting in again in 2013, I'd credit it with more hoppiness than I'd noted before. Also a pumpernickel-like heft to it. Still pretty damn good!
