4.54/5  rDev +16.7%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.75
Appearance: Black with a brown head, leaving moderate lacing.

Smell: Roasted and caramel malt.

Taste: Sweet malt up front, fading into roasted malt and coffee. Coffee flavors are strong without being overpowering. Mild bitterness towards the end.

Mouthfeel: Creamy and smooth. Despite the thickness, it leaves no residual feel.

Overall: Very flavorful stout with a great feel. It is good to have a thick stout without the requirement of 10% ABV. If have tried their Peanut Butter Milk Stout, imagine replacing the nut flavor with coffee.

22 oz bottle traded from Donald poured into Smokestack snifter.

Deep rich black shiny color with brown edging. A beige head of 2 fingers starts and then it recedes to about 1/2 finger and stays. No lacing on the glass.

Slightly nutty aromas with chocolate bar, cocoa nibs, hazelnut, lactose, general dark roasted malt.

Flavor is slightly smokey, quite nutty, with general chocolate milk stout flavors - cheesy cacao nibs, lactose, light infected hazelnut tang.

Feel is a little on the light side, with a tiny bit of creaminess, an electric carbonation. Slight roastiness on the finish.

Overall, an okay stout. Not something I'd probably revisit.

Dark brown/black pour with a small brown head. Aroma of dark malt, chocolate, and light coffee. Taste has powdered chocolate and cream flavors upfront. Can also taste some coffee, vanilla bean, and marshmallow for an overall nice sweet and smooth flavor.

Very smooth Stout with a milky head that stays around for a while. Kind of sweet in the beginning but milky stouts tend to be that way. Not too heavy of a flavor with a dry finish.

Another super great milk stout to put down, I absolutely love the milk stout line from Belching Beaver and will continue to grab one of these 3 milk stout offerings =p
Granted its not as good as the peanut butter one (that may be subjected to individual taste)
But its still a great beer! Aromatic, tasteful, and just a perfect campfire beer.

On-tap served in a snifter at Hair of the Dog, Bangkok.

Black in color with fairly thick frothy tan head, it stands for a while with average retention before sinking to some bubble film atop and leaving lots of lacing patch and spot on the glass-side.

In a nose, rich sweet milky sugar, roasted coffee bean, butter, charred nut, vanilla, sweet candy, hint of cinnamon, and dark bread.

The taste is still led by the big sweetness of milky sugar. Then it is followed by roasted malt like a roasted coffee bean, charred nut, vanilla, toffee, the smoothness of oat, also dark and butter bread. The end and aftertaste is quite lasting with roasted malt and some residual sweetness.

Medium body with some good crisp and moderate carbonation through the palate, smooth through the mouthfeel, finish is dry. Pretty good Milk Stout with lots of milky sweet portion.
