341ml bottle - day 24 of the 2018 Parallel 49/Red Racer Alpine Adventure Pack. A 'Cappuccino Milk Stout'.

This beer pours a very dark, amber highlighted brown colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy beige head, which leaves some weeds on my backyard 'lawn' in the summer profile lace around the glass as it quickly recedes.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa powder, some free-range ashiness, faint cafe-au-lait, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready caramel malt, day-old coffee grounds, medium chocolate wafers, lactose, ethereal black stone fruit, and some very, very tame earthy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly restrained in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad by this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, just, as the java provides a last-minute flourish.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, with the cappuccino adjunct playing it cool, at best. Goes very well with the seasonal chocolate nibbles that I have to stop my 5 year-old from eating all of in one afternoon.
