beer_name: Samuel Adams Cream Stout
text: What a color. Almost opaque in its rich, dark appearance. A woody brown head that dissipates easy but leaves some lace. Smells like caramel. Light on the volatiles, nothing overpowering but has a warm roasty scent. Definitely tastes creamy, feels creamy too. Has a nice roasted vanilla flavor. The taste is appropriately matched by its smell. Not a lot of carbonation nor is it a real thick stout. It's almost milky. Doesn't have the hoppy bite I like though. If you love a stout then you'll probably jump on this one quick. Original taste, not too thick, creamy but doesn't skip out on its own bold masculine flavors. Not my style but I can see why others could love it.
