New York Mocaccino
Mad Scientist Beer

Copenhagen 7/6 2020. 44 cl can from Kvickly, Allerød. Brown, elegant can with very detailed drawing of some retro-futuristic buildings. Reminds me of Chris Ware in all the obsessive detail.

Pours opaque dark brown with a light beige, bubbly head. Settles as thin patch of foam unable to cover much of anything. No lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a dark sweetness with spicy coffee notes. Sweet lactose, caramel, toffee, light roast and coffee.

Light carbonation. Medium thick, soft, almost flat texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a slightly more moderate coffee bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet with a sugary twist. Lingers for a while. Milky sweet finish.

Solid, pleasant milk stout which could use a tad more of the mocca.

Pours a pitch-black coloration with a medium, creamy head. Smells of slightly roasted and caramelly malt, coffee and chocolate, with hints of vanilla also coming through. Taste is a great balance of slightly roasted and caramelly malt, distinct coffee and somewhat lighter chocolate, with hints of vanilla, licorice and lactose also coming through. Finishes bittwersweet, with some coffee, chocolate and vanilla lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and light/medium carbonation.

Of all the additives, the coffee comes through most distinctly here, which is just the way I like it personally, although I could have done with a little more roast and bitterness as well. This is a Milk Stout after all though, so no complaints, really, with the milk chocolate definitely also leaving an impression and the vanilla and lactose being a bit more subtle, thankfully. Overall, while it's just a little too sweet for my personal taste, this still makes for an enjoyable and well-balanced Milk Stout with distinct coffee and milk chocolate notes, as well as a good body and mouthfeel.

 

Milk stout from this brewery that does many "modern" things (use of lactose, fruit extracts and various adjuncts in ipa milkshake, fruit cheesecakes etc.).
Expired 08/08/2020, drunk on 26/09/2020.
It has been perfectly maintained.
On the nose coffee, vanilla and chocolate.
Impenetrable black color, creamy and soft foam that does not last long.
In the mouth, beer with a light and drinkable body. Hints of coffee and cocoa above all, before a soft and creamy finish (in my opinion) given by the use of lactose as an ingredient that makes this beer soft and creamy.
In addition to coffee (own espresso, not toasted) and cocoa, a sensation of vanilla on the finish.
Good beer. Soft. Modern reinterpretation. Absolutely not worsened over time despite belonging to a style that does not lend itself to great aging.

Dark brown color, tan head, aroma of chocolate, coffee and vanilla, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, light body.

Dark brown color with tan head. Aroma has sugary cacao milkshake and dark chocolate. Taste is sweet, a bit sugary with cocoa powder and milkshake flavors. Light body with medium minus carbonation. Feels smooth and it's really easy drinking.
