White Elm Salted Caramel Imperial Milk Stout, 8% ABV. Pours slightly thick and black with a one-finger tan head that left nice lacing. Nose is milk/lactose and caramel/butterscotch. Taste follows, plus salt and chocolate, moderately sweet, slightly bitter. Excellent smooth and thick mouthfeel, overall outstanding. Getting much better as it warms. A great add-junk pastry stout. I'm really digging this one.

16 oz can from 4 pack (I got ambitious), into Tallgrass Vanilla Bean snifter.
Shades of light and dark brown intermingle from the spout of this can, forming a decidedly dark brown with a bubbly beige head of 1 finger, receding to a thick ring and leaving some short-lived sheets of lace up the sides as it's swirled.
Aroma from the can is pure Starbucks, or whatever your favorite steamer joint is - giving off waves of caramel iced latte and sweet sugary milk. The aroma from the glass is much of the same, except leaning towards more roast coffee bean and even a little bit of chocolate.
The flavor is a bit disconnected. Your tongue is plummeted into cloy-land, where the magical streets are made of Sugar Babies and the fresh glistening snow is none other than table sugar. These two attributes come forward first in a huge way, intermingling secondarily with some astringent roasted coffee, some butterscotch, a pinch of pine, and finally more coffee astringency on the finish. The nose suddenly seems tame in comparison. The amount of sugar in this beer is quite potent. I suppose as it warms and you get jollier it isn't so bad. You begin to get used to it, but you also get closer to death.
The feel is pleasantly roasty, with a medium-plus body - thicker than the Red Velvet I had last night; moderately sticky and mildly slick with a little bit of alcohol heat (within spec) and a bit of dryness on the finish. It makes your upper lip sticky.
Overall, a touch disappointing, though not entirely a dumpster fire. The sweetness really IS overboard on this beer, and that's its primary detriment. If you are a sweet beer fan, hop aboard. Me on the other hand, I'll be working through the rest of the 4 pack eventually, slowly, and I much prefer its suave brother, the Red Velvet, that dropped right along side it this week.
In typical White Elm fashion, this is still a fairly decent beer. Go for a single if you're not completely confident.
Price paid : $13.99 / 4 pack
Would buy again : meh
