Quarantine day sixteen: thanks to E. for this 16 oz. can, the last of my fantasy baseball haul from this fine gentleman. My first alcohol from this brewery.

The pour is darker than my soul on what will be day thirty nine, with a smell like a peanut bar. All peanut.

Candy Bar Milk Stout is like a fiscal conservative – claiming to be a lot of things it ain’t. Nuts, peanuts, & nuttiness are pretty much all that’s here, even the stout underneath is hard to find. And the aftertaste dings this one further. Thin. Half a 12 oz. would have been plenty.

I don’t get it. Looks like I’m an outlier here, but this isn’t a good beer...for what it's worth, my wife concurs. Simple, weird, & that aftertaste is going to take a handful of cranberries to be persuaded to leave.

Poured from a can at fridge temp. Pours motor oil black with a good amount of tan head. Nose is really nice and unique. I first get a huge lactose smell, but then the salt and peanut butter come through. Lots of milk chocolate as well. I'm also picking up some cinnamon and mint. The more I smell this, the more I realize that this is NOT something I have smelled before. Good job to Fate for creating something unique. The taste is super smooth. It's a bit subtle in flavors compared to what I was expecting from the nose, but the flavors are really nice. Chocolate, marshmallows, vanilla, nuts, and some Christmas spices. A touch of cherries and raisins come through. The mouthfeel is fairly light, but this lingers on the palate for a while. Overall, this is a really nice milk stout - an easy drinker and something unique.
