Dark Fortress
Branch & Bone Artisan Ales

 

 

16 ounce can, no dating on it but I think it was released over the past month or 2. Served in a nonic pint glass, the beer pours a dark brown/black color with about an inch or so tan head that stuck around a while. Good amount of lacing. The brew smells like roasted malt, coffee, bittersweet chocolate and some cream. Taste is similar to the aroma, but with the addition of some dark bready flavors. Kinda reminds me of a dry Irish Stout at the first sip, but then the sweetness hits and then I know I'm drinking a milk stout. Coffee is noticeable but not overpowering here. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's coating and a bit creamy with a good amount of carbonation. I thought this was a good overall milk stout, would definitely like to have this one again in the future!
