Pours a dark mahogany brown and settles black with a frothy khaki head. Beautiful milk stout.

The nose features loads of roasty coffee and a nice bit of cocoa, which is where the taste lands.

The mouthfeel is medium and edges toward creamy. This is a really nice milk stout that I’d gladly try again.

 

A little too expresso forward and a heavier mouthfeel than I would like. Still very good.

 

 

 

 

Appearance: Pours an espresso color with a small bubble show building a one finger ecru head; decent retention and spots of lacing

Smell: Charred espresso and chcocolate tones; just a hint of sweetness

Taste: Char and chocolate forward with some lactose building; bitter and fruity espresso emerges, after the swallow; nicely blended intothe finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: For a relatively low ABV stout, this packs a lot of flavor and avoids the sweetness of many milk stouts

Thanks, Chilmer, for the opportunity

12oz can. No dating information found, but label lists this as a 'LIMITED RELEASE' beer.
Looks to be clear, ruby brown colored body. Brief thin tan head. No lacing.
Aroma is big with the coffee, followed by chocolate. Creamy oats smell.
Taste is espresso coffee led and finished, along with chocolate and cream. Moderately sweet, along with the espresso bitterness. As noted, more bitter coffee in the aftertaste.
Creamy and more than medium mouth feel. Slight tongue numbness. Supportive carbonation.
The coffee dominates but the beer is brewed to allow a sweet expression of chocolate also. Kind of a weird body color for a stout.

 

 

 

 

 

I tried this beer at Dixie's in Decorah, Iowa as part of a four sample flight. It poured an opaque dark with no head and no lace. The scent had bold vanilla and cocoa notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with vanilla, cocoa and caramel creme presence. The mouthefeel was medium in body with smooth carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.
