Pours a pitch black with a thin brown head that retreats to a ring around the glass quite quickly.
Dominant coffee aroma with notes of chocolate and a hint of vanilla.
Coffee and chocolate taste are most noticeable with vanilla and coconut on the mid palate. Hints of cinnamon in the finish. I can't get much of the chipotle though, it is not spicy at all.
The different tastes come nicely together and no overbearing spiciness, I appreciate that.

A very complex and pleasurable beer. Many flavors come into play. Starts with strong dark chocolate and mocha flavors, goes to coconut and dark berries, warm German chocolate cake, vanilla and chili peppers and some cinnamon. Smooth, rich feel. Highly recommended!

Appearance: Arrives espresso colored with a one finger mocha head; good retention and some splashy lacing
Smell: Chocolate and coffee, with hints of chili pepper, coconut and vanilla
Taste: Dark chocolate forward with coffee building; hints of chili pepper, vanilla and coconut emerge; the finish is surprisingly dry for a milk stout
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body; creamy with moderate carbonation
Overall: This is a nice integration of the adjuncts - not too sweet and not too hot but the flavors are all detectable

Dark as night, and fantastic smelling. The taste had notes of coffee, cinnamon, vanilla and a hint of marshmallow. The buzz is incredible. This is a top notch brewery

Pours a pitch black color with very little head. Lacing is decent. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is full of dark chocolate. There is also roasted malts, coffee and mild cinnamon in the taste. Heavy bodied with mild carbonation. Silky and smooth. Very good beer.

A: Very dark brown, coats glass, light brown head that sticks around
S: Dark chocolate, coffee, cinnamon, coconut, milk chocolate, vanilla, hint of dark fruits
T: Tons of dark chocolate, cacao, pepper heat, coffee, lactose sugar, some roasty bitterness
M: Medium, smooth and creamy from the lactose
O: Nice integration on adjuncts although the coconut is hard to place. The cinnamon dries out your mouth a bit too

Trying this on draft right after a pour of Hammer Smashed Face, and they appear to be cut from the same cloth. Milk the Venom is fairly cinnamon-forward, with a nice chile spice on the mid palate that is ephemeral. Not a style I particularly love, but a well executed realization of it.
