Milk Stout
WoodGrain Brewing Co

(16 oz nitro pour pub pint at the brewery)

3D dark chocolate, wonderful... Subtle espresso notes in the aftertaste; roasty glorious long after a big sip, humming with the (touted) cacao nib flavor... Tis mildly sweet, mostly caramelized inflections, accented with a mint blast... These flavors are possible with a good recipe and not adding nibs, but it sounds like a hearty infusion... stupid delightful. (2171)

Tap pour at ROAM, Sioux Falls SD.
Black colored body. Firm light brown head. Leaves behind close to body lacing rings.
Aroma of roasted oat malt. Slight floral hops.
Taste is roasted chocolate oat malt, and floral, fruity hops.
Silky, medium mouth feel. Supportive carbonation.
Tasty oatmeal stout. Mellow oat aftertaste.

Woodgrain Milk Stout Nitro, 5.2% ABV, 32 IBU. Pours medium viscosity and black, with a one finger tan nitro head. Nose is milk and cocoa, taste is milk, slight cocoa, no notable bitterness. Mouthfeel is very smooth. Overall excellent.

Other than a thin mouthfeel, this is a very solid milk stout - great flavor and deep, dark brown color with a thick head. If you're looking for a sessionable stout that is still full of flavor, you should look up Woodgrain's take on the style.
