St. Peter's Cream Stout

She Said:

Hey, look - it's a beer post! How fun! I don't drink as much beer as I do wine - beer makes me very full and I'm not usually in the mood for that. However, during yesterday's chili- and jerky-making time, beer seemed to be the right thing for the moment. And we happen to have a couple of very interesting ones in the house.

The first one we had was the best, in my opinion. It was an imperial pint bottle (20 oz.), so we split it. It was called St. Peter's Cream Stout. And, boy, was that good!

Creamy, strong flavors of coffee and toasted grains - this was a winner in my book. And a gorgeous color to boot! Very, very dark - almost black. Served up in one of our brand new Guinness pub glasses, it was perfect. Highly recommended!

And go browse around their website. It's quite an interesting read. Lots of history there! Imagine - history at an English brewery!

Let's see. How would I describe St. Peter's Cream Stout in one word or less? I'd have to go with "yumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyum". Yeah, that about sums it up. I really loved this beer. Not the beer I would want after mowing the lawn and needing something super-thirst-quenching but perfect for those times when you're looking for a smooth, creamy, aromatic experience (which came out sounding much dirtier than I intended!). Oh, and it comes in a pretty cool bottle, too.

If you like English ales (and I don't understand you if you don't), I think that you will really enjoy this one. Bottoms up!
