On tap at brewery:
Pours a dark brown with a nice creamy tan-white head. Medium thick ring draws nice lacing on the glass; a few strands of small bubbles grace the surface.

Nose is light, but a slightly charred toasty note comes out first. Dark toast is joined by an ever so slight sweetness that seems to bring a coffe-with-cream aspect to the nose.

Taste hits up front with the lactose tang. It is buoyed by a chocolate roasted malt note initially. They join together before mid taste, when a sugary sweetness joins in. It becomes dark chocolate with some additional sweetness from another source. The tang is subsumed but not really lost.

Light and smooth flowing in body, the flavors are medium bold. Carbonation is fairly light, helping that "easy drinking" impression.

A decent take on the style where it seems the lactose plays a part. The stout side could be more bold in its roasted nature and take on the sweetness a little more, for me. Look at this as a little more of a sweet stout.
