Notes / Commercial Description:
We love this beer here at the brewery, and think you will have one of those “I’ve never-tasted-a-beer-like-that” kind of moments when you try it!
What we really like about this beer is the smoothness that brewing with cream sugar brings to the palate. This smoothness balances out the copious quantities of roasted barley used in the brewing process to create a rich, complex, and delicious beer. If you have not been a stout drinker in the past, give this beer a try. It might just change your mind about how dark beers should taste. It tastes so rich, but is surprisingly easy to drink!

Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat, 5% ABV, 20 IBU. Pours medium viscosity and black with a slight tan head. Had more head until I dinked around trying to get a decent picture. Not much nose here - and taste follows, no bitterness. Decent mouthfeel, overall very OKish.

Pours well from a can or tap, pours with a nice head, very smooth drinking and has enough bitter to finish clean and not be over sweet.

On tap at Fireflour, Bismarck, North Dakota. Figured, I’d take a stab at this since my pizza took a good 45 minutes to show up. This was poured into a pint glass. The appearance was a pure dark brown color with a slim half fingered white to off white foamy head dissipating to a film coating the top of the glass. The smell had a sweet roasted coffee bean with a huge chocolate awesomeness. The taste mostly copied the smell and lead to a sweet semi-dry aftertaste and finish. On the palate, this sat about a medium on the body and had a good sipping quality about it. The carbonation was smoot and lead to a nice creaminess. Overall, definitely a great milk/sweet stout I would love to have again.

Enjoyed at Riva Chicago in the can.
a) Average, scant last, not much lace over brown-black body.
s)=Milky roast chocolate and malt not much hop.
t) As with smell but more ample, and more char, milk, malt.
f) Too thin for stout. Want more generosity.

Served on tap. Pour is a cola colored liquid with a finger of rich, mocha colored head. Aromas of chocolate and double-double coffee. Flavors follows the nose, with cocoa and cream taking more of the stage than the roast coffee notes. Very easy and smooth.

Had this on tap at the Regal Beagle in Godfrey, IL. Black in color with a thin tan head. Smooth and creamy sweet stout with plenty of chocolate. A great tasting stout that goes down easy at 5%. I could drink a few of these. Hope I start seeing it on tap more often.

$ 9.65 (Including discount and tax)/six pack of 12 oz cans ($ 0.134/oz) at Spec’s, Live Oak, TX.
Drink by 10/01/17 can stored at 42 degrees and served at 45 degrees in a hand washed and dried Jester King snifter.
Aroma – chocolate malt, slightly bitter. Still evident at the end but very faded.
Head – large (Maximum six cm, aggressive pour), tan, creamy, better than average retention, slowly diminishing to three mm creamy ring and nearly complete thin layer.
Lacing – poor – just a rare tiny island of tiny bubbles.
Body – dark brown/black, opaque.
Flavor – The chocolate nose barely carries over to the flavor but there are definite expresso notes. No alcohol, no diacetyl, no distinct hop flavor but a trace of bitterness. The oatmeal does not impart the expected smoothness.
Palate – medium, watery, soft carbonation.
A decent beer for the price point. I’m glad I picked up a sixer but see no need to pick up another.
Appearance 3.5, Aroma 3.5, Flavor 4, Palate 3.75, Overall 3.75.
