May 27, 2009 Pours dark brown with mahogany highlights and a 3+finger dusty tan head that has decent retention, eventually fades to a decent skim that leaves sparse lacing. Aroma is roast, sweeeeeet caramel, havarti cheese, creamed corn, sweet bread rolls, sour cream and custard pie. Flavor is roast, paper ash, spice, coffee with lots of artificial creamer, hints of berry, soy sauce, bay leaf, dry nutty notes and a strange - berry like acidity. Finish is cream cheese bagel dipped in weak coffee, light ash tray, mixed berry danish roll and crushed leaves. Palate is too thin for the style and too dry throughout, with aromas and flavors that lead you to think it will be more creamy. This stuff is strangely more "cheese" than "lacto" or "cream" stout, strange, but not terrible. Definitely not worth the $10/6er in my area though.

May 22, 2009 Pours a dark brown color with a thin, tan head which fades very quickly. Body is very thin. Aroma of chocolate and roasty malts, coffee, and slightly sour. Taste is very much the same but with hints of nuts and continuing sour taste. Not a great stout.

Dec 12, 2008 Pours dark almost black. Medium dark tan head that does not hold well. Character is somewhat thin. There is no creaminess in the texture as the name might indicate. Aroma is pleasant but not inviting of a taste.. I detect a bit of a burnt malt flavor a slight sour twinge and a coffee after taste. This is my third bottle of a six pack. All have been the same. It is not a bad beer. This is a drinkable beer but I will not be buying more.
