Delicious... Milkshake porter...
How is it made

 

Drekker Sticky Digits S'mores Porter, 6.5% ABV. Pours black with a two-finger dark-brown head that left no lacing. Aroma is chocolate, marshmallow, and graham. Taste is chocolate, vanilla, and graham, slightly sweet, slightly bitter. Not a pastry porter. Decent mouthfeel, overall very good to excellent.

 

 

Poured from a 16 ounce can into a tulip glass.

Look- Black, medium brown frothy head, opaque, average head retention and lacing.

Smell- Toasted oats, cacao nibs, weak strength of scent.

Taste- Cacao nibs, toasted oats, vanilla, moderately sweet, medium strength of flavor.

Feel- Medium body, average carbonation, silky, moderately creamy.

Overall- Look was an opaque black with average head retention and lacing. Smell was weak in strength and fairly simple. Taste was medium in strength with moderate complexity. Feel was silky as expected from the addition of lactose. Overall the beer didn’t live up to the information on the label. I did not get any graham cracker or marshmallow from the nose or the taste.

 

pouring it - smells like you unwarped a candy bar great sweet porter not overly sweet just a great taste dark pour with thick head

 

Canned on date not legible on bottom of can. Poured into a Duvel tulip.

A: Very dark brown with short cap of beige head with short retention and a few small dots of lacing.

S: Marshmallow is unmistakeable right off the bat with milk chocolate, vanilla, and graham crackers.

T: Flavor is stronger in the milk chocolate department with some black coffee, campfire roast with a light extract cloying character in the finish.

M: Feel is light for the style with medium carbonation.

O: Decent dessert porter but has a cloying finish which was not optimal.

Well executed dessert stout, worth another try.

Poured hard from a tall can into a snifter glass, forming a finger of tan head. Head soon faded to a ring of lacing on a deep brown body. Smell is toasty marshmallow and graham cracker. Taste isn't too intense, background of chocolate and roasted malt/graham cracker. Some marshmallow, but not excessively sweet like most s'mores stouts/porters. Not quite medium bodied and light carbonation. Surprisingly drinkable since I'm not keen on too-sweet marshmallow flavored beers.

 

 

L: Poured from a crowler to a pint glass. Had a dark, mahogany brown color and a thick, opaque consistency. There was a quarter inch of foamy, tan-colored, somewhat long-lasting head. Not a whole lot of lacing, though.

S: A very nice aroma of milk chocolate, malt, vanilla, and marshmallows.

T: Tasted of bit of malt (present throughout, though a subtle presence), some marshmallows (sweet, but never cloyingly so), a bit of vanilla (just a hint), a little lactose, and some milk chocolate (a major ingredient, and very welcome). This is a well-balanced, fairly sweet and definitely likable flavor.

F: An average amount of carbonation with a super smooth finish. Medium-bodied.

O: On the whole, a solidly made porter. Worth a try.
