Reviewed from notes. Poured from a 22 oz. bottle into a Brooklyn Brewery tulip glass.
A: Opaque and very dark brown. Low visible carbonation, and a finger's worth of deep tan head that lasts well.
S: Chocolate and cacao, vanilla and tobacco. Some lactose sweetness, and rich roasted malts – but not overly sweet smelling at all.
T: Milk chocolate, dark chocolate. Nice cacao bitterness with a milky sweet lactose counterpoint. Vanilla, roasted malts, mild woody dryness and a touch of coffee roastiness. Lighter flavors of toffee and tobacco. It finishes with lingering malt sweetness and roasted bitterness, though ends up leaning a bit towards the sweet side.
M: A nice thick body with fairly low carbonation sensation. The alcohol heat is noticeable but integrated into the other flavors.
O: I enjoyed this one. Pretty tasty, especially for a "style" (or a take on a style) that I don't always prefer.

2015 Bottle.
Deep brown to black, creamy, like milkshake brown foam head. Aroma of sweet lactose and lots of chocolate, roast malt and some hints of coffee. Taste is milk chocolate, vanilla, dark sugar, toffee. Aftertaste is creamy and smooth. Lower carbonation. Overall, a very good milk stout.

Pours an opaque dark brown color with khaki colored head. Roasted malt, some sweet chocolate, and woody notes on the nose; follows onto the palate. Medium to full bodied. Finishes with roast, wood, and some sweetness.
