A beautifully aromatic and balanced milk stout with delicious notes of peanut butter, coffee, and dark chocolate. This dark, mythical beer nods to the long-passed legends of our region’s seafarers. (Does not contain nuts or peanuts)

On nitro draught in a pint glass. A rich dark beer with a nice head initially. The lacing dissipates into a foam ring that lingers for a while.
The nose and initial flavors are of hazelnut, peanut butter, malty and sweetened creamy coffee. There are some buttery and molasses notes as well that dissipate and reveal a little tang and dryness at the end.

Picked up a single can at Cedarville Wine & Spirits for about four dollars. My twelfth brew from these guys. Canned on date of 10/15/24. Absolutely delicious.

Almost black colored. Big notes of chocolate and hazelnut. The nutty notes dominate. I get buttered popcorn and some coconut as well. It’s decent but I’m not overwhelmed.

I am trying this beer off the nitro tapper at The Daily Growler in Powell, Ohio as part of a six sample flight. It poured an opaque dark with silky smoove ecru head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent had delicious chocolate and peanut butter notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with sweet milk chocolate malt base with peanut butter presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with nitro smoove carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Milk stouts are not my thing, but this is probably the best one I've had.

16 ounce can, canned on 03/07/24, Batch 345+346. Served in a mug, the beer pours dark brown/black with about an inch and a half tan head that stuck around a while. Small amount of lacing. I like the aroma, the brew smells like peanut butter, dark chocolate, burnt/charred malt and a bit of coffee. Taste is similar to the aroma, but with the addition of some dark breadiness too. All the flavors seem well balanced with no one flavor overpowering the others. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a little creamy and smooth with a moderate amount of carbonation. I thought this was a good overall brew, definitely worth trying if you get the chance!

Incredible flavor of milk chocolate and aroma of cocoa. Very smooth and a creamy finish. For the style I’d say this is a s good as it gets. Solid beer!
