Dangerous Man’s Chocolate Milk Stout (CMS) is a heavenly sanctum for those without hope. One of our most popular beers, the CMS is almost always on tap. The chocolate on this beer can be smelled a mile away; it has a rich, chocolate milk scent paired with a slight, almost invisible, nose of hop and roast bitterness. Thick and chewy, the CMS is a pint of dessert! When you drink it, think of the chocolate and the lactose, try to isolate both and understand how they play off each other to make our most popular beer.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Poured from tap into a clear pint glass at the Dangerous Man tap room.

Appearance: A deep brown/black opaque color with a creamy tan one-and-a-half finger tan foamy head. Foam fades slowly, leaving sticky foam trails on the sides of the glass.

Smell: Dark roasted malts and semi-sweet chocolate and coffee notes. Very little hops.

Taste: Oh yeah...creamy chocolate goodness and smooth smooth dark roasted malts. The lactose gives it that smooth and milky edge.

Mouth feel: slippery and creamy with medium carbonation. Finishes slick and smooth on the tongue.

Overall: This has been one of my favorite Dangerous Man brews to date. Perfectly sessionable and smooth. One of the best milk stouts I've ever had (and I've had a few). This gives the Left Hand Cholocate Milk Stout a real run for the money...and it might even be better. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

This beer has a good, but maybe understated, flavor. The balance of the chocolate is just right.
The feel is okay, but maybe a little on the thin side for a milk stout.
The smell is light. Would have liked it to stand out a little more.

On-tap at Dangerous Man Brewing, Minneapolis, MN

A: The beer is jet black in color and poured with a ring of tan bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of chocolate malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and is very chocolatey with notes of lactose.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I liked this beer, which I found to be more like a stout than a milk stout as there was more chocolate than lactose.

Serving type: on-tap

On tap at Dangerous Man. Poured an opaque, black hue with a mocha colored head of bubbly foam. It smelled of cocoa, toffee, and caramel malt. Sweet chocolate, toffee and caramel.
