Commercial Description:
“a stout of great contention” We are not the harbingers of truth as some may suggest but it may indeed be argued that our brewing philosophy is tantamount to a dessert with a bellicose past. How, you may ask, would a brewery determine a likeness to hard-coated custard? Our response is simple; it’s all in the power of history, and of course, the extra finesse needed to top off a contentious treat with definition.

By comprehending the labyrinthine movement of time, one would not think it strange to trace the errant path of an ordinary object such as a cream dessert only to discover that it has been the cause of cultural disputes since the middle ages. The British founders of burnt cream and from Spain, crema catalana, both stand by their creative originality and we respect that, but it was the French Crème Brûlée, amid the strife of contention, that survived to represent our deliciously creamy brew. 10.0% abv • 25º plato • 195º L • 22 oz / 1/6 keg 2-row pale malt / dark caramel malt / vanilla bean / lactose sugar / kettle hops: columbus / aroma hops: horizon

I was highly anticipating this release...absolutely amazing... my new fav of the Blackwater series... rich and flavorful, long sweet finish... Great as an after dinner treat... The sweetness might over power some, but def is something everyone should try...

An absolute wonder of brewing technology. 22 oz. brown bomber bottle. $7.99 each at a local watering hole. Poured out a deep chocolate brown, with a mocha colored head. Aromas are fandamntastic. Cre’me Brulee, with vanilla, butterscotch, caramel, souffle, all mixed into one beer. Egg nog, Christmas cake, and rum soaked fruit round out the aromas. Flavors are burnt sugars, vanilla beans, caramel, butterscotch, chocolate pudding, some malts, and a sweet component. Mouthfeel is phenomenal, with rich, swirling dessert notes mixed in. Total bliss, flavor wise. A top notch effort from ST.

Okay, just to preface my review, this beer was one of my me and my friends’ favorite beers of the summer. We had it by bottle several times, and also found a Champps by us that had it on tap (which was awesome). The bottle, with cows on it suggesting milk, was offputting at first, but little did we know that it was protecting a hidden treasure. Pours deep brown, nearly black, with a creamy brown, thin head. The aroma is outrageous. It smells like creme brulee. Period. That taste is outrageous. it tastes like creme brulee turned into a fantastic stout. Period. Please do yourself a favor and buy a bottle or two. Good for fans of stouts and sweet beers alike.

Bottle from BlackForestCO. I love you, J. Pours a deep, thick black with a beige head. Aroma is butterscotch, vanilla extract, and candied sugar. Flavor is butterscotch, candied sugar, and butterscotch, with a butterscotch finish. Beer leaves a lingering sweetness on the tongue. Great liquid dessert; I love it.

Bottle, courtesy tpdgreg I think. Dark brown pour, reddish highlights, creamy tan head, creamy thick lacing. Pure delicious butterscotch nose, vanilla, roasted notes, brown sugar. Butterscotch is big again in the flavor, chocolate, sugary cracker, vanilla, peanut butter, and a nice delightful divine roasted finish. Very smooth and abhorrently drinkable. Tasty. Screw you Southern Tier, you awesome fucking brewery.

Bottle -- Wow! Only one way to describe this brew. V-A-N-I-L-L-A! Deliciousy sweet, rounded off with some caramel warmth. Absolutely no sign whatsoever of 10% ABV -- kids could drink this a soda and knock their socks off. Amazing dessert beer. (#3640, 8/15/2009)
