look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 4

appearance- poured a dark brown with a 1/2 finger head that came down to a thin foam. lacing was descent as the beer was consumed.

smell- picked up roasted malts and fairly sweet burnt sugar.

taste and mouthfeel- nice roasted flavors with little bit of sweetness in the finish. nothing bold, but good. mouthfeel was a bit thin i think. when you see a name like "Creamy Dark" you expect it to be creamy....ya not so much on this one.

drinkability- great session beer.

I like a dark creamy beer and this doesn't really disappoint. I would like a little more alcohol content to make this standout. However, I decided to Half'n Half this with Canoe Paddler and was pleasantly surprised. I poured the Canoe Paddler in an English Pub Imperial Pint Glass and used a pouring spoon to drizzle on the Creamy Dark. I am not a huge fan of the Canoe Paddler by itself but do like it at times during a session, but this half and half I would take to about a 4. Happy with it. I lived in Blighty for four years and drank many a 'arf 'n 'arf from many pubs, they were better. But this is nice for the States. Wonder if anyone at Leinie though of this?
