A bittersweet, creamy, coffee-laced stout
First Release: August 2014
From imperial stouts to IPAs, we’ve discovered the tantalizingly roasty lift that comes from adding coffee beans to just about any kind of beer. This English-style milk stout, originally a limited-edition offering at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens - Liberty Station, proved the perfect foil for beans from San Diego-based Ryan Bros Coffee. The bitterness of the coffee is balanced out brilliantly by the milk sugar we used to add a touch of sweetness and creaminess to the stout’s smooth, easy-drinking texture. Cheers to the coalescence of two highly artisanal (and delectable) mediums.

Boy this looks much bigger than it is. I pours like it is heavy. The head is a smallish dark head and it is black with virtually no hints of color on the edges.
Now the body is smallish and thinnish, but what do you expect for 4.2%.
The coffee is bigger than the milk, although there are hints of it and it seems to hang on the tongue for awhile. A firm streak of bitterness and lingers briefly and nicely. It is a nice coffee flavor with a slight freshly ground texture/flavor. Just a touch of sweetness.
This is a nicely done session beer that I will buy again.

355 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5%. Pitch black colour, small beige head. Moderate aroma of chocolate and mild coffee. Slightly sweet roasty flavour, distinct notes of coffee, also notes of lactose, chocolate, liquorice and wood. Moderate bittering hops in the finish.

De XXXII. Embotellada 26/12/2015. En copa Teku. Jugando a Avernum 6. La lactosa no la encuentro, el cafe agradable pero demasiado suave, y la carbonatacion algo alta. Le falta intensidad en sabores. Quizas fresca mejore bastante

Pours from the bottle an opaque dark brown with a tan head.
The aroma is roast coffee and chocolate with a bit of sweetness.
The taste is coffee, chocolate, sweetness, nice bit of bitter.
Mouthfeel is medium and creamy.

Bottled on date is there. Wow! this does taste like a cup of coffee with a splash of milk added to it. This would be a great pairing with some breakfast food like bacon, eggs, & toast. Stone Brewing you have done it again.Cheers! A-
