Milk stout brewed with Port City Coffee Indian Monsoon Malabar. Think cold brew with notes of baker's chocolate and caramel.

From a 16oz can, dated 02/21/22. Served in a willi becher pub glass.
Pours a dark oak-brown with two fingers of fizzy, soda-like foam. Retention is OK, leaving a fizzy cap and a slippery curtain of bubbly lacing.
Nose is malty and fudgy. Aroma of percolator coffee and chocolate syrup. Smells nice.
Taste is strongly reminiscent of unsweetened iced coffee but with little or no milk. Not really picking up on any creaminess from the lactose; in fact, I would have simply pegged this as a coffee stout. Which isn’t a bad thing because, as coffee stouts go, it’s a pretty good one. Fairly low roasted malt-type bitterness but definitely more than expected in a milk stout. A little pop of a Rollos-like chocolate and caramel taste at the very end, which was nice.
Feel is clean, medium bodied, definitely thinner than expected relative to the style, and brightly carbonated. Super easy to drink. But I’m still not feeling any creaminess.
Overall, if you enjoy coffee stouts, you’ll enjoy this. I’m not sure that they remembered to put the lactose in? so, if like me, you’re not ordinarily an enthusiastic fan of milk stouts, do not be deterred. I bought a pair of singles but, if I had it to do over, I’d have gotten the entire four-pack.
