Our chocolate milk stout pours black as the night sky with aromas of dark chocolate, chocolate malt, & more chocolate. With a firm, tan head & a rich velvety mouthfeel our Chocolate Milk Stout is a perfect addition to the change of seasons. Brewed with two pounds of cacoa nibs per barrel this beer is a chocolate lovers dream!

Malty with fully rounded mouth feel a la beer float / stout-shake, a nice thing to have nestled in the cooler for breakfast after a night of fever dreams, cool and soothing; if it existed earlier in history it could have sold next to Ovaltine: make you strong. Update: Ovaltine still exists.

16oz can. No dating information found.
Dark brown colored body. One finger of light tan head, which quickly recedes to a spotty cap and ring. A few lacing spots are left behind.
Aroma is dominated by milk chocolate, with some vanilla.
Taste is very much an expression of sweetened chocolate, and vanilla. Roasted malts provide a base for the sweet stuff. Chocolate milk lingers in the aftertaste.
Medium mouth feel, with a touch of cream for texture. Low bitterness. Okay carbonation.
A sessionable chocolate milk stout, but probably too sweet for more than two glasses. Straightforward sweet milk stout with a dominate chocolate flavor.

I don't know what beer the rest of the reviewers are drinking, but this is one of the worst stouts i have ever had, it doesn't even taste like a stout, it tastes like some one took unsweet chocolate milk and mixed it with Budweiser, i can taste the unsweet chocolate flavor and the drink is slightly creamy but other then that tastes too much like a drunken experiment in the kitchen then an actual brew, I'm disappointed because i love stouts, and a chocolate milk stout sounded awesome (my favorite stout is "Absence of light" a peanut butter chocolate stout) but this just left me feeling like i wasted my money, especially with how much it tastes like Budweiser (i HATE Budweiser, Coors and Miller too) also i don't have a sense of smell so i cant give the smell a proper rating so i just gave it a 1

Looks a lot more appetizing than the peanut butter variety in can design and liquid appearance. It's smooth, and lighter than you'd imagine given that it's both milk and a stout. It's chocolate milk with alcohol. What's not to like?

Opaque black coffee color with a moderate tan head that recedes quickly to just a thin ring but does manage a bit of lacing.
The aroma is dark cocoa with hints of coffee and toasted malt.
The taste begins with a sweet toasted malt, a bit of burnt toast, then a load of dark semisweet chocolate with hints of coffee and cream, then finishes with a lingering roasted bitterness.
The body is light/medium, a bit thin for a stout, fairly low carbonation.
Altogether an enjoyable take on a chocolate stout. I could do this one again.

OK folks -- this one is liking drinking an alcoholic egg cream, or chocolate phosphate. Kinda sweet -- would pair well with dessert. I like a little more body in a stout, also a head that holds. Overall not bad.
