beer_name: Samuel Adams Cream Stout
text: 12oz bottle (best by 9-2010, tasted 8-19-2010) into a Sam Adams sensory glass produces a tall creamy small bubbled and light tan 3 finger head. Stays around for a while but eventually reduces to very slight cap. Leaves awesome lacing. Opaque brown-black color. Aroma is sweet, semi-floral, and malt. Taste was sweet roasty mocha bitterness giving way to slight nutty and unsalted cracker. Light carbonation hits midway, smooth and creamy on the tongue, and finishes wet. Lightly pleasant bitterness and cracker lingers on in the aftertaste. Drinkability is good -- I would find it hard to get tired of this pleasant brew. Very mild-mannered and unobnoxious. I felt like Goldilocks: not too much or too little bitterness, not too much or too little sweetness, but just right. So drinkable this one disappeared extremely quickly!
