Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a tulip glass.
Appearance dark brown (almost black) with very little head.
Smell is milk coffee, molasses, chocolate and vanilla (quite pleasant).
Taste follows the nose but the flavors are not as pronounced. The molasses/sweetness is fairly strong throughout with some bitterness on the finish.
Mouthfeel is crisp and fairly thin for a milk stout with moderate carbonation.
Overall this beer just misses the mark for me. I kept hoping for more of a stout bite and more body to cut the sweetness, but it wasn't there.

Not a big fan of this beer. Lots of cola, overcarbed, thin and stale hops.

Draft at Zax. Kind of ho-hum. Head is a bit light, weak nose and taste, which may be muted due the ice cold serving temperature. A bit of the roast grain bitterness appears in the finish, but not enough to salvage this beer.

Pour from a 12 bottle into my 16oz snifter.
A - Not quite black; more of a deep dark brown color. The head was a creamy light brown, about 1/2 a finger which disappeared rather fast
S - Not a lot going on here. I could sense a bit of coffee, and maybe some chocolate.
T - Pretty light and not very complex. Could taste some chocolate, definitely roasted malt, and something that I couldn't quite put my finger on; I'm thinking molasis?
M - Moderate carbonation, and a feel that seems light
O - Overall its a decent stout for being only 5.6% ABV. I'm glad I got to try it, but would probably look past it if I saw it sitting on the shelf.

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Bottled on 12/03/15.
Appearance: Pours a midnight mahogany with 1 finger of off-white head
Smell: Bready with roasted notes
Taste: Dark chocolate and roasted malt flavor with a clean finish
Mouthfeel: Full body but not overbearing
Overall: A fantastic sessionable stout. As hefty, high abv stouts receive the rave reviews and recognition, its easy for a beer like this to be overlooked. There is lots of flavor and a full body all despite a session-like abv and no addition of flavor adjuncts.

On tap at The Ginger Man (Houston), served in a shaker pint. Pours nearly black brown with a dark khaki head; leaves limited lace. Slightly roasted malt, caramel and milk chocolate taste throughout, and mildly in the aroma. Slight hints of earthy hops. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A gentle and easy drinking stout with pleasant milk chocolate notes.
