Demo Tape Twenty Four: American Milk Stout
Exhibit 'A' Brewing Company

 

Enjoyed on tap at the brewery today.

A - Poured a nice dark brown with a good creamy brown head that fades to leave a creamy blanket.

S - Aromas of nice roasted malts and great chocolate. Get loads of creamy lactose and marshmallow. Nose really, really pops.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with loads of great chocolate roasted malts, dark chocolate bar. The lactose is great but the marshmallow is the star. Creamy and sweet the flavour here really delivers!

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, creamy, body is a little thicker than the ABV would suggest.

O - Overall this was a very very enjoyable stout. The chocolate was great as was the marshmallow notes. Really, really delicious.

Serving Type: on tap

 

Canned 3/13/19

Pours a large mocha frothy head with fair retention and lacing, very dark basically black color

Nose dried lactose, creamy chocolate milk, toasty with a little roasted coffee and sweet chocolate

Taste creamy chocolate milk, more lactose sugar with fair sweetness, sweet chocolate covered condensed milk, plenty of roasty flavors, little char, bitter roast and coffee grounds but not acrid, drier finish but a bit sweet, lingering roast and lactose chocolate, medium bitterness

Mouth is med to fuller bod, creamy, medium carb

Overall pretty nice, good lactose milk sugar and roasty without being acrid, nice bitterness although it gets a little aggressive late on the finish, otherwise tasty

Excellent milk stout with strong flavors: roasted malt, cacao, and chocolate. Smooth MF thick for the style.
I like this. Flavors broaden with warming. One of the better beers in the style which can be lackluster.

Can to English pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking dark brown close to black color. Slight foamy head quickly fell off to leave some concave lace.
The aroma had a fluffy marshmallow sweet mentality flowing into some sweet roasty coffee tones and a subtle dark chocolate maltiness. Sly crisp milk chocolate and wafer/sweet cracker undertones.
The flavor meshed all of the prior mentioned aromas together subtly but sweetly arranging a fair aftertaste of wafer/toasty character totally coming into its hands (very milk chocolatey).
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Carbonation seemed alright. ABV felt fine. Fairly smooth almost cloying finish but actually comes across just sticky.
Overall, really good milk/sweet stout well worthy of having again.

 

 

I am a big drinker of Milk Stouts.... This is one of the best I've ever had.
