Milk Stout
McMenamins Inc.

 

 

 

A: massive cascading movement. The bar keep was nice enough to let me view the mesmerizing action and then came back around and capped the brew off. Jet black in color at first inspection and then a noticeable soft crimson showed up at the top and base of the glass. Dense creamy mocha colored cap of two fingers with sizable retention. Lace was monstrous, sticky, and filmy coatings staring back at me from all around

S: soft and creamy malted barley nose with a handful of oats. The sweetness is of sugary milk/cream. Nothing over powering and has a timid nose

T: from what I can gather it has a real honest profile. Roasted barley malts, notable lactose sweet edge, with hints of coffee, and faint cocoa. Not very complex on the palate overall and yet I find myself enjoying every sip. Not a huge caliber brew and yet sturdy enough to hold its own. Agreeable hop bitterness/dry notes in the finish with watery edges

M: as far as this is concerned...top notch. Creamy as all get and body is far from being super chewy and heavy. Nitro tap proves to be the key and I am debating about giving this one a perfect score....no, I am afraid I can't bring myself but it is damn close

D: I tell you what, this beer is super drinkable with its mildly heavy body and creaminess is moves this down the hatch with no problems. Flavors are not annoying or anything to brag about. Appearance, mouthfeel, and drinkability are the real highlights
