Price: $3.99 at Quarry Wine and Spirits in Baltimore
Appearance: 5 - what can you say? Nitro beers are hotties. The video shows it all. I'm left with a beautiful frothy tan head that looks like it'll never move.
Nose: 5 - like I mixed a chocolate milk with the Hershey's syrup.
Taste: 4 - yeah, pretty much like chocolate milk. Fairly mild.
Mouth: 5 - extremely thick and frothy. Nitro is like magic.
Overall: 5 - won't win any awards, but just plain fun to drink. I should buy a few sixers.
Cheers!

Sampled in a taster glass from draft at O'Toole's on November 1, 2019. Southern Tier's Blackwater Series now offers a next-level drinking experience with its newest launch, Nitro Chocolate Milkshake. Using nitro capabilities with smooth chocolate, vanilla profile with a hint of Himalayan sea salt, this brew offers cascading, creamy richness that is a step above traditional imperial stouts.

Southern Tier has created a rich and creamy chocolate milkshake with 10 percent ABV. This beer is smooth and deceptively delicious. It smells like milk chocolate - Willy Wonka style. This is a sweet dessert beer and I am drinking this one in front of a fire reminiscing about all the chocolate from my youth. Give it a try - it's definitely worth it!

Picked up a 9.6 oz single from the Craft Beer Hop Stop cooler 10-22-19 for $3.99. Canned on 9-25-19; consumed 2-1-20.
Beer poured black with a beautiful tan head that has some great hang time.
Nose is a pleasant chocolate milk forward.
Taste is chocolate and lactose forward with a nice touch of high concentrate cocoa to help balance some of the sweetness.
Mouthfeel is light bodied and not overly smooth.
Overall a very nice dessert beer, fun to try!

Taste: sweet, milky, chocolate, nutty notes, smooth finish. Lactose, malty coco nose. Black/brown, opaque, tan soft nitro head some lace. Medium to med/light body. A little thin to be an imperial stout.

Huge frothy nitro head to start
Cocoa/vanilla dominates the nose
Not unlike a chocolate milkshake, with a bit more vanilla, a hint of booze.
Mouthfeel velvety, but ultimately feels quite light and undercarbonated; trading some front end smoothness for backbone with the nitro
Nobody does desserts like Southern Tier
