It's not a bad beer but to me it's not worth the price (I paid 5.49 for a pint bottle). Not much smell, A light cream flavor but it has a metallic aftertaste.

St Peter's Cream Stout, 6.5% ABV, 34 IBU. Not much nose - OK I must fess up here - I have a lousy sense of smell. For all I know this smells like baby unicorns. Pours dark and thin, one finger of tan head which mostly dissipated while I tried to get an in-focus picture. Palate is sweet with some coffee bitterness. Not bad.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: Pure black with a thin buff head clinging around the edges.
Smell: Not a whole lot here, but a faint sweetness. Caramel and toast.
Taste: Wonderful malty sweetness; not overpoweringly sweet, but a fantastic combination of molasses and fresh bread. No bitter hoppy or coffee notes here.
Feel: Nothing but smooth, satisfying quaffability. A great silky creaminess with just enough carbonation to remind you that its there, and provide the slightest bite in lieu of the hops.
Overall: This is an outstanding stout. It hits the mark of providing easy drinking, malt forward drinkability, while still providing a respectable ABV at 6.5%.

S :Very rich, smells like a coffee flaovored heavy merlot.
T :Smooth and sweet. Creamed toffee coffee meets deep fruit.
F : Smooth with a thick texture with mild fizz.
O : I freaking love this beer and I will it drink often from now on. Some stouts go nuts with the coffee tones but this is perfect to me. So smooth and creamy.

Pours a deep, dark cola-color with a 1 finger tan head.
The smell is full of notes of chocolate, fig, and woody, dark fruit. Some faint notes of burnt coffee can be detected.
The flavor starts off with plenty of fig and raisin, followed by dark chocolate, vanilla and roasted coffee. There's also a strong oat character on the back end. Starts out sweet and ends up bitter.
The feel is medium bodied with decent carbonation. Very creamy and smooth. Alcohol is undetectable.
Overall, a pretty complex stout that offers a lot of varying flavors and aromas. A great balance between the dark fruit and chocolate that really blends well together. The flavor gets even better as it warms.

I have to cop to really having an affinity for the St. Peter's Brewery line of beers. It may have something to do with their flask-shaped bottles, but if the contents were no bueno, I would have eschewed their beers long before this. Face it, aesthetics will only get you so far. No, these are good, well-executed beers that are stylistically adherent.
From the (cask-shaped) bottle: "'Fuggles' and 'Challenger' hops plus a blend of 4 local barley malts create an aromatic, robust, dark chocolate cream stout with a satisfying bittersweet aftertaste. Brewed with skill and patience in one of Britain's finest small breweries."; "Historical Notes [-] St. Peter's Brewery is located in a medieval hall in a remote and beautiful corner of Suffolk. There our beers begin their lives deep below the brewery with water drawn from a pure source - as it has been for over 700 years, essential for the full flavour and pure character of all St. Peter's beers."; "Our beautiful flask-shaped oval bottle is a faithful copy of one produced c. 1770 for Thomas Gerrard of Gibbstown, just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. The original is now kept at St. Peter's Hall and is a rare example of an oval Eighteenth Century beer bottle."; [depicted -] St. Peter's Hall, circa 1280 AD".
I Pop!ped the cap and let fly, giving it a chance to really foam up. I got two fingers of dense, deep-tan/light-brown head with good retention for my efforts. Color was Black/Opaque (SRM = 44), allowing zero light penetration. Nose was really rich and chocolaty, very much like a brownie. My mouth began to water at the prospect. Mouthfeel was dense, full and creamy. It was more like a dollop of chocolate ice cream than a sip of beer! I have said repeatedly that I am a hophead, but this was right up my alley. The finish held a light smokiness that kept the sweetness in check. It is one of those rare beers that I can and have drunk repeatedly, but the difference is that I finally managed a review. I highly recommend this and everything else from St. Peter's.

Very deep chestnut with a dark beige short lasting head.
Aroma of chocolate malt.
Bittersweet flavour spoilt by burnt toast at the finish which becomes subdued further into the tasting. Chocolate again.
Moderate carbonation. Rather smooth.
Slow to start but grows into a nice tasting stout.

Served in a Hefeweizen glass.
A : Pours a tarry, black, obsidian body @ 100% opacity. The head is almond colored and very fluffy, porous, and large. 3 fingers and sticks to the side of the glass in soapy mountains as it recedes. It rests at about 1 finger.
S : Rich, roasted coffee aromas. Kona beans. Very earthy. Some light cacao, and a milky waft. Bouquet at medium strength.
T : Very dark and dirty to start, but quickly dries out to a rich, thick, malty flavor. Coffee bean, including the bitterness that comes with it. Some faint, faint cocoa but barely discernible. A lactose swirl also accompanies the profile. It finishes primarily roasted with coffee and bean.
F : The first thing I noticed when I put this to my lips is how rich and creamy it was. It's basically like a frothy coffee, and retains creaminess throughout the whole tasting, ending on a dry, nippy note. The carbonation is zippy and about right.
O : I'd have this again, it's very milky, creamy, and also dry. Not a bad choice for those looking for a basic cream stout with lots of coffee and milk.

A Harp nonic glass successfully contains the thick creamy khaki head that looks remarkably similar to pancake batter. The head rests for a long while, leaving a coating of lace over the dark brown (SRM 28-33) beer.
Sweet roasted malt competes with baker’s chocolate and equal parts pumpernickel bread.
Pumpernickel bread feature prominently in the flavor alongside bittersweet chocolate. A late, long bitter finish accentuates the deep roasted flavors without a burnt quality. The middle is dry and sweet with cappuccino and rich, moist brownies.
This cream stout is smooth with a very full, creamy body. Carbonation and alcohol are both light, but present, in this otherwise chewy beer.
St. Peter’s exemplifies a meal in a glass. Perhaps better on a cool autumn night than a warm summer afternoon. Regardless, this is easy to consume and would work well on any occasion or with brownie bottom pie.

One of the best Stouts I've ever had.
It has an opaque body, almost black; and is possible to make a big creamy and beige foam on this one.
Smell and taste have roasted malts as the highlight - not extremely strong, but it has a "clear smell" and a "clear taste. Hoppy character is not at high level, but it gives an extra to the beer. Sweet notes that are difficult to distinguish are present till the aftertaste.
Feel is creamy, of nice body and carbonation.
Quite of a simple beer but delicious nevertheless.

Looks dark, like a good porter or a light imperial stout. When a light is shined through the glass, some light appears on the opposite side indicating a lighter and lower gravity beer.
Smells of chocolate very strongly with that metallic aftertaste of a porter in perfect balance with the more sweet tones. Has absolutely no smell of coffee whatsoever, which I find a little disappointing.
Tastes very rich in flavor: chocolate, malt, balsamic vinegar, coffee - no... it's espresso, with the oily flavor and bitterness that only good espresso has. Bitter flavors are stronger than the sweeter flavors, with the malt and the espressor weighing in more heavily. It could be a little sweeter, but I think that the earthy flavors and bitterness are really refreshing - which is an uncommon trait in most porters.
Feel is good, but a little thin and lacking in carbonation.

Beer pours a deep brown color with a 2 finger head when poured into a pint glass. The head settles to a thin layer of foam that lasts. Thick lacing on the side of the glass.
Smell has a bit of a plastic tone, which Also appeared in the back half of the taste.
This taste is very good. The Malt shines through, but the plastic aftertaste was not overwhelming, but still unwelcome.
Very smooth on the mouthfeel. Silky smooth.
A very good stout.

Balanced and slightly sweet with a Near black brown color, this beer showcases peat smoke with coffee and cocoa nibs in the palette. The aroma has a pleasantly peaty bread aroma, along with a nice and mildly smoked chocolate aftertaste. The stout also has a very nice mouthfeel that goes well with the subtle carbonation of the beer. This can have a roasty characteristic that’s not so obnoxiously bitter compared to other roasty stouts. While the cream stouts are not my forte, this is a solid stout for its category. I recommend trying out their Old-Style Porter as well.
