Overview: The St. Peter's Cream Stout is one I stumbled across at a local pub and had to come back and review it officially for the site. It comes in quite a unique bottle, and brings with it an equally unique flavor and aroma combination.
Aroma: Plums, cherries, and dark fruits. Slight hint of vanilla and alcohol. Some orange rind.
Appearance: Thick opaque tar black with a thick frothy tan head, faint orange highlights around the bottom against the light.
Flavor: Creamy chocolate cocoa. Finish like bittersweet baking chips melting. Mouthfeel is consistent and milky smooth. Light roasted flavors in the end. Gives a sensation at times of eating dark chocolate covered cherries.
Overall Impression: The St. Peter's Cream Stout is a wonderful, chocolate delight. The only thing I was really surprised about was how much fruit I could smell in the aroma, but the lack of the fruit in the flavor. Still, I was not disappointed by this, when faced with the smooth and creamy cocoa flavors. This was quite a delicious drink, well suited for a post-dinner dessert beverage.
