St. Peter's Brewery's St. Peter's Cream Stout

Pours inky black, but not opaque as it poured. On type for a stout. Nice dark tan head that sticks fairly well.

Throws off a sweet floral smell as the head dissipates, and settles to a nice grainy smell. Still a bit sweet, apparently from the lactose.

Huh. I like it. But the lactose isn't too apparent. It is mostly apparent in the feel, making the feel a little smooth up front like the type should be, but is quickly offset by a carbonated soda feel and aftertaste. Roasted grain still, but still soda-like.

Wish there were more cream/milk stouts out there. This one is fairly average, not going far enough into the style to really stand out.
