Holy Cow! Milk Stout
Church Street Brewing Company

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours pitch black with a light brown head. Smells of chocolate, coffee, very nice combo. Tastes of chocolate with slight coffee and grassy hops. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

pours dark with thick head , good bourbon flavored coffee taste smooth after taste

How have I not had this by now? Well here we are, almost 8,000 deep. Midnight black body with a fluffy light brown head. Roasted and earthy malt lead you into baker's dark chocolate aromas. Not complex but sturdy. Taste has similar set up, has more coffee and leather in there, well balanced. Body is creamy, thick but not heavy, and classical. Good all around milk stout

 

A nice change from my normal Guinness or Boddington. I'm not a fancy review guy. I just know what I like. Smooth "mouthfeel" and nice depth of flavor.

 

 

On tap. Poured out an opaque, jet-black color with a small, light brown head of foam. It smelled of chocolate, toffee and cream. Sweet chocolate and creaminess with a touch of caramel & toffee.

 

 

Tasted in a pint glass from draft at The Vine on April 28, 2018. We are proud to offer this traditional English Sweet Stout that’s bursting with chocolate flavor and a hint of coffee. A dark ale, milk stout has just a touch of sweetness provided by the addition of non-fermentable lactose sugar.

Pours pitch black with a lovely fluffy creamy tan head that blankets the beer as it falls

On the nose i find coffee, dark malts, sweet dark chocolate, roasted malts, slight smoke once warmed, maybe vanilla?

Taking a sip i notice roasted coffee and malts, dark chocolate, slightly sweet but balanced by the coffee bitterness

Overall this was a fantastic milk stout! Great medium bodied creamy mouthfeel! Would get again

 

 

Aroma is coffee, mild milk sweetness and dark/roasted malts. The flavor is coffee, dark/roasted malts, dark chocolate, slight sweetness and an acidic finish.
