Milk Stout
Zipline Brewing Co

12oz bottle. Poured out an opaque, jet-black color with a small, light brown head of foam. It smelled of chocolate, coffee and roasted malt. Sweet chocolate taste with creaminess and a subtle coffee flavor.

Pours opaque, ruby red to dark brown with a fluffy collar of head that sticks around,
On the aroma I’m getting almost entirely roasted malts, with some chocolate.
Very sweet, rich and roasty. earthy bitterness on the back end. little bit of dark chocolate.
Mouthfeel is medium to medium light bodied very light carbonation. Slick and clean.
Overall it’s a great beer, it is a bit dryer and has much less sweetness than others in the style I’ve had, but I’m enjoying it a lot.

12 oz bottle, "Milk Stout, ale brewed with milk sugar", 5.8%. Just showed up on shelves here.
Rogue Spiegl glass.

Silky dark brown into black, with a tall beige head of 1 finger leaving gorgeous sticky lace as it recedes, sticking to the body, only broken up where the head has long gone.

Some heavy agitation yields cocoa puffs, slight earthy dark chocolate, spicy black pepper notes, and slight chunky sour milk.

Flavor is total Nebraska. If you've had one basic oatmeal stout from eastern Nebraska, you have had them all. This embodies that 100%. Robust earthy bitterness with stiff undertones of dark chocolate, and slight hints of dry cocoa, and the difference here - faint detectable lactose and spicy coffee. (I imagine the spiciness will fade within 6-8 weeks in the bottle and it will simply be a basic generic coffee note.) The coffee and slight resins peek out more at the finish.

Feel is acidic, slightly slick, good popping carbonation, with a robust dry finish. Medium bodied all the way through.

Overall a decent milk stout, and as expected I probably won't revisit it, but I had to try it once.
