Vanilla Milk Stout
Brindle Haus Brewing Company

Something was a little off but it was fairly drinkable

Poured cool to a wide mouth glass. Color is murky brown. The nitro is short-lived. No head. No lacing. Nose is astringent, artificial vanilla. First sips are metallic, artificial vanilla, some creaminess in the middle, with a flavor that is all “murky brown.” It’s a normal ABV, so there’s no bite to it. I’m ready to pour it down the drain. I try not to do that, considering I paid a few bucks for this, but it’s really not pleasant. It’s not getting better over time.

It has some base, lingering flavor that reminds me of their ambrosia sour concoction. It’s sort of marshmallowy, artificial, Fluff-esque.

No, it has to go. Bye bye.

Nitro can purchased at Swillburger/The Playhouse in Rochester, NY.

Poured hard - it pours a very dark brown color, a bit murky, with a small fizzy head, and not much lacing.

This has a really wonderful chocolatey aroma, with some vanilla cream, and just a touch of roast.

The nitro-ification of this can doesn't help it out much. There's some nice chocolate from the base stout, and some nice sweet vanilla coming through. The vanilla feels authentic, and not artificial. However, the nitro just kind of flattens out any little complexities there might have been there.

This is really creamy, but a bit flat and a bit thin. It's still quite drinkable, though.

This would have been much better if it was just served straight up. Nitro almost never helps anything.
