Well named and incredibly well priced. The extra sweetness in this beer reminds me of Nestle Quick. Overall, this is a well balanced sweet stout. I would absolutely buy it again.

 

Pours a dark black colour with a thick tan head that disappears almost instantly leaving a ring around the glass". The nose is filled with dark chocolate, vanilla, roasted malts, coffee and a slight hoppy note. The taste carries much of the same notes, but leads with sweet malts and a bit if an alcohol burn. The carbonation is on the mild side and the mouthfeel is a bit watery. The label says creamy but I didn't get that which is unfortunate because that is exactly what is missing and would drive my review up.

650ml bottle - I sure do likes me my beer name puns - good on 'ya, Dead Frog marketing wags!

This beer pours a pretty solid black, but with loose basal red cola edges, and two fingers of puffy, foamy, and somewhat bubbly brown head, which leaves some dissolving glacier profile lace around the glass as it quickly sinks away.

It smells of roasted caramel malt, a bit of wheaty graininess, milk chocolate, black licorice, weak day-old coffee, some indistinct black orchard fruitiness, and laid-back earthy, leafy, and perfumed floral hop bitters. The taste is fairly sweet milk chocolate syrup, gently toasted caramel and wheat malt, sugary cafe-au-lait, subtle anise candies, still muddled dark fleshy fruit, and more plain earthy, weedy, and floral hoppiness.

The bubbles are so-so in both their supportive and otherwise engaging frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, with a generic airy creaminess presiding, once things warm up a tad. It finishes sweet, but moderated to a certain degree by hop, fruit, and booze alike.

Overall, a simple version of the 'style' (the sarcastic quotes are for the Imperial side of things here) - and kind of disjointed, with the elevated ABV always seeming poised to attack. I do like my drinking to be fear-free, so while this is quaffable at first, I believe that I'll be tiring of it before its logical departure from my life.

1st Reviewer! Haven't had this distinction in a good long while!!

A- This pours with an ice cream like head that is dark caramel in color...very interesting! It retains very well and is thick and dense in body....the color of the brew itself is dark cola....not quite black but on the other side of brown! Carbonation is hard to see of course but based on the head, I'm guessing it is smooth and creamy....and the lacing, well, it is modest, but respectable looking...lots of small patches cling to the glass!

S- Honestly, the aromas are very mild and hard to get anything out of. After this warms up slightly, I can detect lactose sweetness, creamy milk chocolate, white chocolate, and cream of wheat in terms of grain/malt. The booziness reminds me of a Jr Eisbock, but more robust on the nostils.

T- Well this has the aforementioned sweet lactose/creamy sweetness, with some mild heavily roasted malts, but overall, I find this to be weak and/or bland in flavor. There are hints of chocolate, coffee and rumcake, but it seems to be lacking the lingering strong character that my palate expects from this style, especially for an Imperial and even for a Milk Stout

M/O- This is light to medium in body, and the carbonation is relatively smooth in nature. Its not offensive by any means but it just seems to be lacking something. With this said, it is highly drinkable and I could most definitely have more than one of these in a sitting....I've just had better is all....still I recommend trying this one out!
