St Peter's Cream Stout


Hello!

This evening I'm reviewing St. Peter's Cream Stout. Before last Thursday, I had never seen or heard of this beer or its brewery. One of my MBA buddies, Alex, gave this beer to me. His family owns a retail wine store, and they also stock a few good brews.

The beer comes in uniquely-shaped 1 Pint, 0.9 oz. green bottle with the St. Peter's Brewery logo embossed right into the glass. Impressive. For some reason, I felt rich and high class just being in the presence of this beer. The beer poured nicely and resulted in a rich, mahogany body and perfectly-sized camel-colored head. The looks of this beer continued to impress me and I kinda had the urge to go put on a dress shirt and blazer to match the aurora this beer was creating in my living room.

I took a sip of the beer and was instantly delighted. This beer was mildly carbonated, but the zip of sweetness tickled my taste buds. True to cream stout style, this beer had a silky, almost milky, mouthfeel. This stout had subtle chocolate, coffee bean, and burnt sugar notes combining to form an overall smokey malt flavor profile. Very smooth and pleasure to drink. From start to finish this beer made me feel good. I give this beer a 9.4 score. Thanks Alex for introducing me to this great beer!

Cheers, Zack.

  1. St. Peter's is one of my favorite breweries. I'm surprised I haven't told you about them before, but I really like their ales. Haven't tried the stout yet but I'll give it a go!
