From the bottle, it pours a clear very dark brown color with reddish highlights and a light tan head that is thick, luscious and lasts. The nose gets roasted and burnt malts initially. The mouth gets some orange flavor along with burnt malts and some bitterness - a bit surprising.

12oz bottle poured into a snifter
A- pours black in color with a one-finger creamy khaki head that has great retention
S- initial aroma has a bit of acidic vinegar on the nose, but is quickly followed by charred malt, chocolate, lactose, licorice, nit really finding any orange
T- super bitter up front with a hit of charred malt, unexpected for a milk stout. Mid-palate starts to bring out some sweetness, with milky lactose and chocolate. The finish gives just a hint of orange peel, along with more roasted notes that leaves a charred linger
M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that continues into a creamy finish

Once again, another milk stout with almost zero sweetness. I would classify the taste of this beer as an English Stout with some unusual adjuncts. The chocolate is not obvious to me. The orange is sedate sitting nicely in the background adding depth and flavor without interfering with the base beer. A very dry bordering on dusty or acrid finish. Not much of a head but one that is lasting with nice lacing. Clear on the pour. Opaque amber black/brown in the glass. A bit thin on the palate. Roasty with faint citrus on the nose.

Poured hard from a bottle into a snifter glass. Color looks like coffee, maybe a finger of head that faded soon to a bit of lacing. Smells of orange and roasted malt, not bad. Taste is bitter and unpleasant orange, roasty flavors come through more as it warms up, but also bitter. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Far too bitter, not for me.

About the same color brown as the bottle it comes in, this beer has a small to medium tan head and gives off aroma hints of the citrus / orange soon to be enjoyed. In the first few sips, you definitely pick up that orange-citrus essence in the entire stout-ish experience that it bills itself to be. Any chocolate is in the background. Lest someone think this thing is like a dream-sickle, it's got its fruity hint of sweet thing going on but has a noticeable mean-bitter streak rolling through it like a handcuffed Tasmanian Devil...! This thing is a Wild Card that wins the hand! It's a bit funky - and funky-good. I'll certainly buy this again. This is my 3rd or 4th sampling of a Parkway creation and I am absolutely impressed with what they bring to the table... or bar...

This is a disappointing stout. It pours very pretty, and the smell is promising, but it falls down after that.
It's a beauty - a pancake head of fine bubbles dissipates into some lacing. The aroma is sweet and has hints of orange. The taste misses. It is clean tasting but an odd balance is struck with the brew being light on all fronts - malts, hops, adjuncts. Everything is there, and not really that light, but nothing stands out and the tastes don't complement each other that well. It improves slightly as it warms, with some roasty tastes poking through.
Not recommended. Look for a better take on the style elsewhere.

From the left side of the label above the barcode: "PARKED ON 11/01/17 09:58 170086"
Appearance: The body of the beer is black with some hints of brown around the edges of the glass. The head is large and khaki colored. The head has a slightly foamy and slightly creamy consistency. It has very good head retention and lacing. It is a picture perfect beer.
Aroma: There is a light, slightly acrid, burnt aroma with a touch of what smells like a tootsie roll.
Taste: It has a lightly roasted flavor with a touch of a metallic and carbon tinge.
Mouthfeel: The body is medium and slightly bitter. There is a slightly chalky finish to the beer.
Overall: The beer calls itself a "CHOCOLATE ORANGE MILK STOUT" but it never delivers on any of this. There is a bit of tootsie roll aroma but it isn't enough to justify this beer. It is a decent, average, stout with a touch of chocolate aroma so if that is what you are looking for then this would be for you. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend it and I wouldn't buy it again.
