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.

From a 16oz can dated Autumn 2023 into a tulip.
Pours an opaque pitch black with a bout four fingers of tight brown head. Incredible retention, great lacing.
Strong smells of nuts, coffee and baker's chocolate.
Taste follows. Strong black coffee and bitter dark chocolate up front with milk chocolate and nuts in the background.
Full-bodied mouthfeel. Bitter aftertaste. Not as smooth drinking as I was expecting. Nice small sips to extend the enjoyment. Probably all the coffee. Aftertaste is a mixture of bitter coffee and dark chocolate.
Obviously Tree House is known for their NEIPAs but don't sleep on their milk stouts! Great beer.

Pours a deep dark almost black color with a finger of tan head. The nose and flavor profile are dominated by notes of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. The mouthfeel is lush and sticky.

Canned November, 2019. Pour is as dark as beer comes, with a small amount of short-lived head. Aroma is better than expected given the age. Plenty of cocoa and chocolate with some almost coffee like elements. Really nice smelling beer. Taste has also held up really well. Lots of smooth chocolate. Semi-sweet and well balanced with some nice roasted notes. Overall, pretty good beer. I'm impressed with how well this has held up.

Drank from a 1 pint can purchased at Tree House Brewing Company, Charlton, MA
2022
Served in a Tree House Brewing Company tulip
The beer poured a syrupy and rather intense looking pitch black hue. An inch-tall, tight and creamy, mocha colored crown topped the liquid and slowly fell to a thick, lasting collar. Streaks and drops of lacing stuck all along the sides of the glass.
The aroma was decent initially and definitely improved with time. Moderately roasty with day-old coffee notes. Bit of acrid character and perhaps some raw cocoa too. As the beer sat, sweet, creamy lactose notes appeared. Good dose of vanilla as well. Chocolate syrup was also noticeable. The sweetness and the chocolate character intensified as the beer sat.
The flavor profile was also solid but perhaps not as smooth as the nose. Malty and robust up front. Roasted malts were most apparent. Moderate caramel malt presence too. Cold coffee was also noticeable. Subtle lactose and vanilla notes were detectable in the center. Slightly sweet. More roastiness on the back end and the finish. Moderate amount of bitterness. Some alcohol warmth came through as well.
Nice creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Medium bodied for the style. Slightly syrupy. The liquid contained a finer beaded, somewhat prickly effervescent that turned fluffy on the palate.
All That Is And All That Ever Will Be is an enjoyable beer, though not as impressive as its ratings might suggest. Both the flavor profile and the mouthfeel came across as a bit flat. I feel like many of Tree House’s imperial milk stouts definitely suffered in quality when they moved from bottles into cans.
