Notes:
This beer was designed and brewed for Lauren to celebrate and reflect upon our second wedding anniversary! A rich milk stout base is amplified by a large addition of cocoa nibs and a blend of our favorite coffee. The flavor profile punches well above its alcohol content, with heavy milk chocolate and chocolate syrup notes balances by a gentle and rounded coffee character. Despite its heft it retains a wonderful and fluffy drinkability. I sincerely hope it can be enjoyed and shared with someone you love. The gift of chocolate, for Lauren.

Pours a dark brownish black. Aroma is milky dark chocolate with coffee. Taste follows nose with roastiness. Mouthfeel is creamy & full. Very nice stout.

16oz can.
Pours opaque black with a half inch head of brown. Malted milk balls with dark chocolate and cocoa-dusted espresso beans in the nose. Full bodied with a crushed velvet mouthfeel. Brownie batter with chips of fudge on the palate. Finishes sweet and rich with chocolate cake and faint espresso.

Pours black, significant brown head. It definitely has that milk stout aroma - tangy/lactose and some alcohol. Taste is roasty with dark chocolate. Some umami/meatiness/soy sauce as well. Feel is somewhat creamy. Overall, one of my favorite milk stouts.

Pours like syrup--smooth and sweet. Very dark brown with a mocha head. It is rich with strong milk chocolate flavor, and subtle coffee flavor underneath. Several good aspects to this stout, but perhaps a bit too sweet, making this lean toward dessert beer.

16oz can poured into a snifter.
A: Black on the pour with two fingers of brown head. Retention is good, lacing manifests in broken rings.
S: Nose is heavy on the chocolate. Brownie batter and a generous helping of Hershey’s chocolate syrup. Fatty nibs. Bit of woody roast and earthy hop. Berry-like fruity note. Nutty coffee.
T: Follows the nose. Chocolate all over the attack. Cocoa nibs, brownie batter, chocolate syrup in a big way. Sugary lactose. That berry fruitiness comes through tasting like a raspberry tootsie pop. Pervasive background flavor of nutty coffee. Quick flash of earthy hops, and woody and roasty malt flavors poke through now and again. Perhaps some subtle cola. Roasty and Chocolatey finish.
M: Rich and thick in the mouth. Coating and almost syrupy. Tons of residual sugar. Carbonation is ample but gentle, and fluffs things up a little.
O: Might be an unpopular opinion, but this is just too sweet for me. Tree House has a penchant for taking all of their dark beers well onto the sweet side of things, and some fare better there than others. Here there is just not quite enough hop, coffee, or black malt bitterness to bring it into any semblance of balance. It does finish drier than it starts, but it isn’t nearly enough to save the drinkability. You gotta have a serious sweet tooth to enjoy beers like this, and unfortunately I find that I tend to favor balance and dryness as opposed to a candy-bomb like this. It tastes like chocolate syrup and sits like 16oz of chocolate syrup in the stomach. Looks like sweet sells though, so maybe I’m just an old grouch now.

Ok, to start off, this is sweet. It does smell like cocoa powder, almost like opening a packet of swiss miss. Flavor is like lactose, dark chocolate, and hershey's syrup. Overall a bit too sweet for me but an interesting beer.

Really outstanding all around stout. Thick and creamy feel, delicious coffee and mildly sweet chocolate. Big nose and long finish. Drinks much bigger than the abv.
