This Milk Stout is brewed with cold steeped dark grains, graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows. The subtle flavors of the base beer blend deliciously with the campfire S'mores flavor and a sweet milk finish.

This one pours a super dark black color, with a big fluffy head, and lots of lacing.
This smells quite sweet, with gooey gobs of marshmallow and vanilla, graham spice, chocolate syrup, and molasses.
The flavors here are completely on point - which is the usual case with these guys. They always nail the exact dessert or beverage or whatever it is they are trying to mimic. This loses a few points due to how unbelievably sweet it is - the marshmallow and fluff push that over the edge, and makes it a touch cloying. The graham cracker valiantly tries to add some breadiness and spice to the beer, but it doesn't do quite enough to balance it all out. The base Venus is a sweet chocolatey stout, so that just adds to the sweetness. This is certainly decadent and delicious, but it would be hard to have multiple of these.
This is medium bodied, very creamy, and kind of syrupy, with a lower level of carbonation, and a good level of drinkability.
I'd want a bit more balance here, but you can't deny how well this approximates a s'more.
