Samuel Adams Cream Stout: Review

 

Roasty and Toasty

When sitting by the campfire, this fall or winter, get yourself a good chocolate treat – and I am not talking about a s’more – pour yourself a glass a Samuel Adams Cream Stout.

This 4.9% abv stout pours a black body with a fine looking tan head. There are layers of roasted malts on the nose. The taste is a wonderful sensation of roasted caramel coffee and toasted dark chocolate notes. The hops kick in to add a good bitter quality which, help to add to the dark chocolate style.

The texture has a nice creamy style due to the low carbonation. The toasted and roasted notes mingle in for a thick aftertaste that lingers.

And to complete this fireside delight a cigar with its own chocolate and coffee profile: Indian Tabac Maduro. There two were perfect while I sat by my fire here in Grindstone City, Michigan.
