look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
Poured from a 16 oz. can into a Snorkel glass.
Canned on 5/24/17.
Appearance: Dark brown to black body with a beige ring of bubbles around the edges.
Aroma: Cocoa, vanilla, roasted malts.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Sweet chocolate and vanilla with a slight bitterness that rounds out the sweetness. Nice smooth feel to this one, creamy and slick, yet a thickness to it that leaves all those flavors on the tongue, coating it with chocolate and almost coffee like flavors.
Overall: I hugely enjoyable beer that is reminiscent of 3F Moloko. This one has that great thickness to it with out being too heavy, a sweetness up front with a nice hop bitterness at the end to round it out. Really enjoyable.

Pitch black in color with a fingernail of brown around the rim. The aroma is of lactose and dark malt. I'm tasting dark malt and lactose. The finish is of dark chocolate with a hint of bitterness. The mouth is silky smooth and a bit thick.

22 ounce bottle, no dating on it that I could find. Served in a snifter, the beer pours dark brown/black with a half inch tan head that stuck around a while. There's a decent amount of lacing. Aroma is nice, the brew smells like milk and bittersweet chocolate, roasted malt, lactose, vanilla and a bit of coffee. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also some burnt/charred malt and dark bready flavors noticeable. I think the taste is sweeter than you'd think it would be compared to the aroma. Mouthfeel/body is medium/full, it's slick and smooth with a moderate amount of carbonation. I think it's a good double milk stout, I was looking forward to trying this and I wasn't disappointed at all. Definitely worth picking up! $15.99 a bomber.

Enjoyed from the tall boy can in a snifter via a friend from work---Thanks Justin for this jewel from Indy!
This beefy beast pours a pure opaque with a nice head of brown foam that subsides to a thick ring,
thin light wispy layer, and features some nice light lacing. Nose of heavy cocoa, woody char, sweet dark
malts, dark fruit notes, subtle coffee, and subtle lactose notes. Flavors hit the right tone for the
perfect stout. Char touched dark malts wash over rich cocoa notes and mild coffee flavors that are
lightly touched with dark raisin bread flavors that are tossed into a creamery factory that gives
what many of the milk sugars stouts do not offer---sweetness without the bitter milk sugar note that
finishes with a nicely balanced subtle herbal hop flavor. Excellent mouth feel; dull body, sweet,
low carbonation, and a lightly warming sweet milk sugar finish.
Overall, a solid brew from a new brewery to me!
Cheers!

Like the bottle says, its very creamy. The only downside would be the chocolate taste for menis a bit overpowering. Would like more bitterness & hops to shine through. If you prefer something a bit easier to drink I recommend Left Hand Milk Stout. It has a cow on a purple label.

2 yr old bottle. Pours black with thin tan head, not much lacing. Mild chocolate n coffe aroma. Really solid dark chocolate flavor with a bit of lactose sweetness in the end. Thin to medium oily slick feel. Very much enjoyed this one. Wanna try the canned Hunter.
