2017 notes:
So, what is "Milkman Manbaby?" They alway call it a "German-style Milk Stout", which doesn't exist in reality. Germans don't brew stouts, and the milk stout is an English creation. Recently, the Oliphant Facebook book page called it a "Batman-style stout", for whatever reason, and when I asked them what this meant, they responded with a GIF of Adam West doing the Batusi, of course.
I like the mystery of Oliphant, and the surrealism, but I really like that the beers are well made and delicious. So, let's crack open a growler and contemplate their popular Milkman Manbaby beer for the first time.
6.8% ABV, 18 IBU.
Complete blackness, utterly ebon, under a creamy cocoa-toned head, looking luscious.
In the nose: Malty sweet, creamy, lactose, yum. Just about lovely. Very nice. Puts me in mind of a German schwarzbier. Interesting.
In the mouth: Smooth, creamy, malty, delicious. Very cool, very groovy. Some roast, a tiny toast. Just delicious. I'm getting it now. Milk stout meets black lager? And it's good. Very good. At the taproom, I was informed of it's popularity, but never got it. Who knows why. After having taken down this growler in it's entirety, I can see how this is such a pleaser.
There's nothing on this world like a German milk stout, just like we haven't seen a billionaire playboy philanthropist vigilante in real-life, either, but that doesn't mean we can't dream. Or drink, as the case may be.

Brought on poker night, 32 ounce crowler, by one of the female participants. Fresh from the brewery. Poured into sample glasses for all. Dark brown with a khaki head. Chocolate on the nose and tongue, not a lot else. Good flavor but could use a tad more carbonation. Not a great beer, but fun.

Crowler! Cheers, Ryan.
Pours a deep dark brown with almost 2 fingers of creamy tan head. Fruity yeast and chocolate with dark fruits on the nose. Sweet chocolate, light frutiness, a touch of smoke in the finish? Interesting stuff for sure. A bit on the sweet side for me but enjoyable.
