Appearance: Black. Leaves a dark lace head.
Smell: Light roasted coffee and chocolate.
Taste: Some coffee, vanilla, and chocolate. Small alcoholic aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Creamy and moderate carbonation.

This is really a creamy delight. The nice taste of roasted coffee and chocolate coats the tongue. It's an excellent milk stout. I would get this again.

Dark brown in color, thick but not imperial stout thick, this beer has the appropriate look for a cream stout. A light brown head is dense and craggy, shows good retention as it sits at 3/4 finger for almost an entire meal, and leaves excellent patchy lacing. This has a solid look to it.
The nose gives off light roast, an earthy touch, a bit of vanilla, and a touch of something like tobacco.
A pleasant minerality and a light metallic touch to the earthiness are not unexpected given the use of what I assume are solely English hops and malt varieties. There's a mild but flavorful roast with the same vanilla-like sweetness. There's not the remotest hint of anything acrid or harsh, and there's something I hesitate to call smoky but is reminiscent of the taste.
This is a remarkably smooth beer. Creamy, silky and velvety, the only offense any beer lover could find is that they might expect more body in a stout. The thing is, this is a full-bodied beer. If you want to be destroyed, pick up a properly made RIS, but it's no real shortcoming here.

No bottle date that I can find, might be at least a year old though.

A: Pours dark brown with a big fluffy and effervescent light brown head. Head fades at a moderate pace, leaving very little lacing, just a little dots of fluff here and there.

S: Lots of sweet cream. A little bit of chocolate. Very mild.

T: Lots of cream and a little milk chocolate. Sweetness drops away, leaving a sort of acrid, bitter chocolate and char in the finish. Quite dry in the finish.

M: Fairly thin, not nearly as creamy as I was expecting.

O: Kind of a plain cream stout. Not as creamy as I'd like, and not nearly enough roasted malt to back it up. Just kinda meh all around.

St. Peter's Cream Stout has a very thick, frothy, tan head, a very dark brown appearance (ruby, under direct sunlight), and some good lacing left behind. The aroma is of sweetness, molasses, toffee, and dark bread crust. Taste is of sweet, dark, black bread crust, roastedness, some charcoal, sugar, cream, and dark bread dough, with an underlying and not weak bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium and a bit slick, and St. Peter's Cream Stout finishes dry, bitter, sweet, and fairly drinkable. Overall, this is a wonderful beer, and I highly recommend it.

Deep deep mahogany with good clarity it looks. Tan head. Milk chocolate sweetness on the nose with good roast character.

Rich creamy body but with lively carbonation as well. Lactic sweetness throughout with sweet Chocolate notes and Nutella and grainy toasted biscuit. Finishes with a roast and coffee bitterness. Smooth and nicely balance, not overly sweet with a unique body, I like it.
