St Peters Cream Stout


I have had this St Peters Cream Stout sitting in my fridge for a few weeks and decided it was time to try it. I had it with some smoked cheddar but I don't think it matched very well.
It pours a very dark, thick shade of black with a tan head, the head though does not last very long.
It smells sweat, a sort of treacle and prune mix.
It also tastes of prunes, little toffee and I think some butterscotch.
A very interesting stout this, and one worthy of having again. It reminds me of fruit cake and more a desert style stout than a main course kind of stout.
This is the only St Peter's beer I have tried so I am curious to try some others in the range.

  1. They're a mixed bunch, but the Old-Style Porter is the stand-out of the bottled ones I've tried.

  2. Yes I had read your review on the porter so plan on keeping an eye out for it.

  3. Love this beer and their porter great and well worth trying as well. Again the bitter were a bit one dimensional

    Their mild is nice and the pub in london (The Jerusalem Tavern) is worth stopping by in your in london and the Gunmakers is near by too.
