Our milk stout
A big chocolaty aroma and flavor with a bit of sweetness that will make you contemplate adding a scoop of ice cream to this brew. Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans and Ghana cacao nibs add to this beer’s complex but incredible flavor.

A really nice and different milk stout. Sharp edges from the hops and smoky malt profile balance the sweet lactose sugar. Very drinkable and memorable.

I'm not sure what people see in this beer, it's very thin and watery. Sure it tastes like chocolate, but that's no great feat. Drank a pint at the bar, and today had a 5 oz. at the brewery.
Dark brown edges, appears black in the glass. Thin skim of foam that fades away to a glassy surface.
Aroma of milk chocolate, lightly sweet. Also tastes like milk chocolate, not much nuance or complexity. Zero hops or coffee bitterness. Feels watery and thin, like homebrew or 1st year brewpub beer. These guys make better beer, this isn't their best.

Thick black pour, not much head. Smells chocolatey with slight vanilla. It tastes like they've somehow combined chocolate milk and beer. One of the the sweetest stouts I've ever had. Sooooooo good.

Very drinkable stout. Very milky and full of chocolate notes. Roasty smell. Medium mouth feel and sticky.
