White Chocolate Moo-Hoo Milk Stout
Terrapin Beer Company

 

Note: I am in the process of moving all of my ratings from other beer sites to here, so that all of my ratings are consolidated in one place. The review below is an exact copy of my original RateBeer review from 12/04/2022.


12oz. can, 6.1% ABV

AROMA: Nice scents of brown sugar, cream, and milk chocolate, with subtle hints of coffee. If I inhale very slowly I can get an ever-so-faint wisp of white chocolate at the very end, but it's gone almost instantaneously.

APPEARANCE: Pours an (almost black) dark brown, with a tall, tightly packed, dark brown head that dissipates slowly with medium lacing.

TASTE: I first taste sweetness, quickly followed by milk, sugar, and chocolate. Then I get hints of coffee and brown sugar. The finish is long and consists mainly of the stout's coffee and brown sugar flavors. Although you still get some of the milk chocolate sweetness coming through too. What I don't get, is white chocolate. Zero, zip, zilch, nada. Did I mention "none"?

MOUTHFEEL: This is a full-bodied beer with a luxuriously smooth texture and average carbonation.

OVERALL: The flavor of the beer leans more heavily towards the milk chocolate and sugar, than the stout. However, there is still plenty of supporting stout flavor for the stout lovers among us! Add to that the incredibly enticing aromas and body, and you have a really nice beer! Unfortunately, given that I don't detect any white chocolate flavor, I really don't see any difference between this beer and the regular Moo-Hoo Chocolate Milk Stout. Which begs the question, "What's the point of making this beer?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was a 12 oz can I picked up for $1 because why the heck not?

Milk stouts are a little thin for my taste and that's the case here. Light chocolate/coffee with low carbonation.

My wife used to love regular Terrapin Moo-Hoo several years ago so when I saw a 12 oz can in the Wegmans singles section I had to pick one up for her. She drank most of the beer. My impression is that it's similar to regular Moo-Hoo in appearance as well as aroma/flavor, but inferior because, well, white chocolate is inherently inferior to the real thing. Overall it's too sweet and not, well, chocolately enough. I suppose if white chocolate is your thing then you might love this beer, but for me it is a clear notch (or two) below the original.

Solid brew for sure. Not sure that this is the same beer as this is a 2019 Terrapin reserve on the label and not even close to the bottle in the photo. Just had it a few days ago as I found it in my beer closet.

Pours out of the can a midnight black with one finger of tan head with mild retention. Smells of cocoa, vanilla, and roasty malts. Taste follows suit and doesn't disappoint with its namesake. Just wish it had a little more of a robust mouthfeel.

 

 

Tan head that’s very thick and doesn’t go away. Very dark in color. Not very effervescent but very smooth and creamy Chocolate flavor. Great beer!!!

 

 

Poured can into shaker pint.

Look: Deep black body and dark khaki head, great color.

Nose: Cream, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract

Taste: As promised, chocolate syrup, A very creamy vanilla. A light dark roast note.

Feel is thick and creamy with some bitter roasty grit.

This is an underrated milk stout, really held my interest with each can of a six pack.

 

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a black color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of chocolate, roasted malts. Taste is roasted malts, light chocolate. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is a quality beer.
