Commercial Description:
This English style of beer, also known as Sweet Stout or Cream Stout, first appeared in London in the late 1800’s. The early brewers touted the health benefits of the milk sugar in this beer which today relates mainly to the increased amount of calories(no real health benefits…sorry). The milk sugar adds a well rounded sweetness to this dark beer and makes it an outstanding, year ‘round stout.

12 oz bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA. Pours the shade of coffee with a moderate tan head and some solid lacing. Mostly chocolate in the nose, with light bits of coffee and a slight nuttiness. Taste is all chocolate creaminess with a hint of coffee. One of the smoothest finishes I’ve ever experienced.

Sampled on 4/27/2009. This sweet stout pours a eclipse black color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized beige foamy head with a decent lacing but little to no retention. The aroma is chocolate and coffee and a touch sweet. A light to medium bodied sweet stout. The malts are roasted/burnt malts, chocolate and coffee. The hops are earthy and herbal. There is a lot of coffee bitterness without a lot of sweetness to balance it out in this beer. It seems a little thin and watery as well. Nice carbonation. This one just doesn’t do much for me. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Dark coffee brown pour with a two finger, creamy head, decent retention and good looking lace. Chocolate, nuts, and coffee on the nose. Nice smooth body and easy on the carbonation. Taste is chocolate roasted malt and a little hop bitterness. I didn’t expect much from this one based on past experiences with Left Hand - This is by far my favorite of their brews that I’ve tried so far.

12oz bottle. Pours deep brown with a small tan head. Nice nose of chocolate and roasted malts. Flavor is kind of sweet and roasty. A nice stout.

Although it can be a bit watery, this stout has subtle but rich flavors of chocolate and coffee and a slight sweetness. A great brew.

bottle - nearly black beer with not very long lasting beige head. Not much aroma. Flavour has chocolate and coffee. Nice sweetness really reminding on milk. Heavy body.
