This new American stout is intended to complement the character of the season and the Thanksgiving tradition. Brewed with pale, caramel, and roasted malts and conditioned with a blend of chocolate, vanilla, and our favorite freshly roasted coffee, Somewhere pours a luscious pitch black in the glass with a dense mocha head. We taste and smell complex notes of swiss chocolate, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate chocolate chip cookies. A rich body and a gentle carbonation contribute to a beer that is the ideal holiday digestive. We hope this beer can serve as a lubricant to reflect and give thanks during this special time of year. Enjoy.

Poured a beautiful black out of the can with a nice tan half-finger of head. Though next to no head retention, the tan floating ring that remains provides a beautiful contrast to the dark beer. Medium+ body, again a little sticky and syrupy. Definitely smells like a milk stout with some very muted vanilla notes. Palate follows with a balanced approach to the chocolate and vanilla. Some muted baking spices and coffee as well balance this out. Getting some lingering peanut/peanut butter on a long drawn out finish.
Really enjoying this one. Would love to reevaluate when fresh to see how the coffee plays to the flavor profile.
Overall, 4.5. Beautifully made!

So smooth. You taste everything, the chocolate, coffee, vanilla and malts.

From a 16oz can dated Autumn 2023 into a tulip.
Pours a thick opaque black with about two fingers of brown head. Really good retention and decent lacing.
Crack of the can gives some coffee and bitter dark chocolate. Warming adds in some sweet milk chocolate and vanilla.
Taste follow...coffee, milk chocolate, vanilla, dark chocolate. Really well balanced and distinct.
Smooth, silky, full-bodied mouthfeel. Low carbonation. Mild, bittersweet aftertaste.
Nailed it. Probably enjoyed Moment of Clarity a bit more, but I'd never turn my nose up at this.

Canned Autumn 2023
Here we have yet another BA top 250 beer that I was able to pick up on my latest run to Tree House. This one eluded me for quite some time and I’m happy I was finally able to grab a 4 pack. It’s a fairly straightforward Milk Stout with basic adjuncts but Tree House tends to excel at that. Let’s dive right in
Pours completely pitch black with 2 fingers of frothy dark tan head that slowly fades to a thin cap and leaves decent lacing
There’s a delicate balance in the nose here that is just wonderful. I’m picking up on aromas of medium roast coffee, sweet vanilla, black cherry, cocoa powder, raisin, brown sugar, dark bread, and a touch of leather
While not quite as masterfully balanced in taste, this is still damn good. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting milk chocolate, light roast coffee, brown sugar, caramel, raisin, vanilla creme, dark bread, and light toffee. The swallow brings notes of black cherry, milk chocolate, medium roast coffee, vanilla creme, brown sugar, raisin, burnt caramel, and dark bread
A medium body pairs with gentle carbonation, resulting in a silky beer. Finishes a tad sticky but it doesn’t hurt the drinkability
This one is just so damn good. Easy drinking and even though the adjuncts are present they aren’t aggressive

Pours a deep dark brown color with a finger of tan head. The nose has notes of milk chocolate syrup and the chocolate notes carry over in the flavor.
This is a fine effort, but compared to other TH milk stouts in the same abv range, it is incredibly average.
