4.41/5 rDev +18.5%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5
600ml bottle poured into a pint glass. ABV 5%.
A - Poured a nearly black dark brown with a very thin brown head. Head reduces to a few surface bubbles and a bit of lacing is produced.
S - Some sweetness, chocolate, coffee, some toast. The sweetness certainly has milk tones to it. Aroma is to style.
T - Milk sweetness, coffee, chocolate, roasted/toasted flavours, medium-mild bitter finish. Excellent balance. Probably the best stouts I've ever tasted. There's no off flavours of any kind to be found. A smidgen more coffee would make this perfect.
M - Medium carbonation, medium body, slight creaminess, some stickiness, crisp finish.
O - Awesome stout.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75
Purchased at the LCBO 600ml bottle for $4.85. Served in a tulip at 8deg C.
A- Opened well with a nice 2" brown head. Very dark as expected
S- Roasted malt, molasses
T- Ok. Not very creamy at all. Falls short on most aspects a good milk stout
M- Ok. no creaminess at all. Very uninspired.
O- Not that good. Gave it a bit of a better rating than I think I should have. Will not buy again
Food Pairing
This not very inspired milk stout went with... pizza. Hey pizza can go with almost any beer depending on toppings.
Enjoy

A: The beer is black when view from afar but when held up a bright light the edges are dear reddish brown. It poured with a half finger high beige colored head that died down, leaving traces of bubbles on the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of lactose are present in the nose. Notes of roasted malts become noticeable as the beer warms up.
T: The taste has flavors of dark, roasted malts along with notes of lactose and a slight amount of bitterness. No sweetness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a little thin on the palate with a low to moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer feels lighter and thinner compared to other beers in the style, but is easy to drink.

It scores high because this is the beer I have been looking for. From the pour to the bottom of the glass, its a beauty. Starts with that heavier stout pour but with the carbonation being a touch higher it develops a nice head that hangs around. Dark, roasty and smooth, but cleans nice. Leaves a taste long after that makes you want more. #notgreentom

600ml bottle - I never really considered this guy to be all that funny, but maybe 'his' beer will fare better.
This beer pours a clear, dark red-brick amber colour, with a fistful of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly beige head, which leaves a splendid array of tree branch lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of bittersweet chocolate, mildly roasted caramel malt, cafe-au-lait, a bit of black licorice, and some plain leafy, weedy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, a lessened wet and milky cocoa powder sweetness, subtle day-old diner coffee, an ephemeral earthy yeastiness, stale vanilla pods, and more understated herbal, grassy, and floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite light in its insouciant frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with a small airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad out of the ol' bar fridge. It finishes off-dry, the lactose essence starting to override both the toasty caramel and chocolate.
Overall, this is a fairly well-made milk stout, the lactic notes taking their sweet (sorry) time coming around, but in the end, they definitely inform the whole. Kind of weirdly 'pale' in complexion, but the flavours are all there, which makes for a nice wintertime sipper, even if the regular-ass ABV doesn't command it.

A- This one pours with big burly bubbles that pop and leave behind a froth filled foamy head that seems to have excellent retention....it is a light caramel color.....as for the beer itself, it is unusually clear and has more of a deep reddish hue to it than what I would expect from a stout. The lacing is decent, with several strings of foam clinging to the side of the glass and there seems to me moderate carbonation from what I can see....just bizarre to be able to see through a stout!!
S- Dry dusty unmalted grains, sweetness from the lactose, yeast, caramel/toffee, vanilla, cream, milk chocolate subtleties, and a finish that is lingering and sweet on the nostrils. Interesting indeed!
T- This is quite different......very light flavors overall, with creamy sweetened porridge, perhaps some earthy wild flower honeyed qualities, dry grains (oats), mild milk chocolate, slight yeast, flat vanilla character, and the finish is mild and bland to be honest....overall Id say the flavor profile is a little underwhelming.......
M/O- The mouthfeel is thin and the carbonation is smooth....an unusual combo for the style. Drinkability is decent i suppose but I feel there is something lacking and I really don't feel this fits the style very well. Tom Green was involved, so I suppose this fits his comedy style.....weird and only somewhat funny, but after awhile you groan and need to move on. So I'm going to the next beer......

Bottle: Poured a black color ale with a large foamy head with medium retention and light lacing. Aroma of light lactose and dry roasted malt is pleasant enough. Taste is also a good mix between some lactose notes with some light dry roasted malt with subtle black chocolate notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Nothing to write home about but still better than your average offering from Beau’s.

Bottle from the LCBO for $5 or so
Appearance - Dark brown colour with a small size frothy of white head. I can't make out the amount of carbonation showing and there is no lacing. The head lasted for around 3-4 minutes before it was gone.
Smell - Malts, chocolate, grains
Taste & Mouth - There is an above average amount of carbonation and I can taste malts, chocolate, and faint coffee. There is also a graininess and a touch of smoke.
Overall - More of just a regular stout than a milk stout feel wise. It has an okay taste but is pretty boring and unremarkable.
