Canned 1/24/2018. Poured into stout glass. It pours almost black with deep walnut hues. The thin, mocha-colored head dissipated quickly leaving almost no lacing. There's lots of cocoa, lactose, and freshly-brewed coffee on the nose, along with a whiff of cherry.The taste opens with roasted malt, freshly-brewed coffee and nuts, followed by a wash of cocoa. It finishes slightly bitter with burnt coffee and char notes. Like most Milk Stouts it's rather thin in body with light carbonation, and I think it drinks above its 5% ABV. Overall, this is really a first rate Milk Stout; one of the best that I've had.
