This is a rich, dark and velvety creation. We used chocolate, dark malts, lactose sugar, and a hint of coffee. Ruling land and sea, this legendary creamy milk stout is unlike anything of our time.

Tasted in a pint glass from draft at Lake Lawn Resort on January 4, 2019. A rich, dark and velvety creation with chocolate and dark malts, lactose sugar and a hint of coffee. Creamy.

Poured from the tap into a pint glass. The appearance is a dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma is vanilla and malt. The taste is cocoa, roasted malt and a hint of vanilla.

Pours a dark brown with a thick mocha head that leaves a little lacing. The aroma is chocolate, vanilla and dark roasted malt. Flavor is sweet cocoa with roasted malts, a little lactose and vanilla in the finish. Feel is a little thin as most milk stouts tend to be. Very nice beer.

Excellent example of a Vanilla Milk Stout. Nice notes of chocolate and vanilla, but NOT coffee (which is a plus, in my opinion). Foam could be a little creamier, still a nice mouthfeel with relatively low carbonation. Balanced, very pleasing on the palate, you will want to open a second one...

Want a recommendation for this beer? I joined BeerAdvocate just so that I could give this one a positive review. My single favorite bottled beer, along with Karben4's Fantasy Factory (brewed just down the road). This beer has this wonderful vanilla kick that perfects the coffee flavor inherent to the stout. So many beers advertise that their beer is a milk stout, but, this is among the first to live up to the billing! Truly, truly, what I envision when I hear a "milk stout".

Look - as expected, fairly thin and black. Good lacing though
Smell - toasted chocolate milk
Taste - more toasty than chocolate but it's still there
Feel - thin as expected with light carbonation
Overall - pretty good
