Selfish. Greedy. Lawless. This stout wants it all. The chocolate chip cookie confluence of rich cocoa nibs, Madagascar vanilla beans, lactose, and brown sugar create a complex yet incredibly light and creamy milk stout. Bitterness bails. Sweetness prevails.

Pour at the brewery was almost black with a light tan head. Typical stout look.
The beer smelled of coffee and chocolate, some hint of sweetness, a touch of vanilla. Brown sugar not so much.
The taste was very good if a bit off from the description. I got substantial coffee, then a rich chocolate. Then it disonnected a little bit. Not very strong on the vanilla and not as sweet as some milk stouts which is fine with me. It really isn't a sweet bomb as implied in the description. No char, minimal bitterness.
Feels was typical for a stout, maybe the tiniest bit thin.
Overall, a pleasant stout to drink. Liked the blend of flavors even if they seemed a bit restrained. Decently done.

Didn't get a lot of the adjuncts in the flavor but the base beer is well done.
