Nice milk stout: smooth and not too sweet. Muted flavors with not too much chocolate. Found on tap at Big Hammock Brewery in Ocala (new place, May 2019).

Had poured from 32-oz. crowler, purchased at the Proof tasting room, Railroad Square, Tallahassee, Florida, into nonic pint.
This American Stout is a refreshingly straightforward yet bold exploration of the chocolate sweet stout. With the hint of vanilla, goes great with Oreo cookies.

Pretty good, strong coffee aroma. This was 9% however, not 8% ABV.

Pours dark, smell is of milk chocolate, mouth feel is smooth, perfectly viscous. Taste is on point with almost any milk stout I've ever had, the milk chocolate follows, sweet balanced with a tad bitterness of coffee. The funny thing is that it is advertised as both a milk stout and just a stout. Either way it's great for both beers. One of my favorite beers from this great brewery

On tap at Alewife in Jacksonville. Nice light brown creamy head over jet black. Thick mostly solid lacing. Smell is very mellow. Taste is exceptional. Thick malt flavor that is not too rich just right. Leaves a pleasant aftertaste leaving you wanting more. Very well done and way above average.

Poured from draft into a rooma emperature pub glass.
A: Pours a rich chocolate brown with a frothy tan head that maintains through most of the drink.
S: Lots of coffe and cocoa with a little toffee and a touch of toast. Alcohol is a little bigger in the nose than I would think for an 8%.
T: Smooth and chocolate forward with a small coffee finish. Not much in complexity, it is nevertheless tasty and sweet.
M: This beer is smooth with low carbonation on the palate. It coats your mouth with a chocolate aftertaste that invites more drinking.
O: I expected a bigger beer for a Dbl/Imp, but this stout is delicious and easy to drink. I could easily drink too many, and most likely will.
