A delicious milk stout packed full of cinnamon & vanilla, tasting like a cinnamon bun with loads of vanilla drizzle.

A: Pours an opaque yet still clear jet black in color with light to moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and faint dark chestnut brown + amber colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall sudsy foamy dark beige head that reduces to a large patch of heavily mottled very thin film covering approximately 70% of the surface of the beer and a very thin ring at the edges of the glass. Minimal amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of dark + toasted + caramel malts with moderate amounts of lactose sweetness. Just shy of moderate aromas of vanilla + cinnamon. Just the slightest hint of earthy hops.

T: Upfront there are slightly heavier than moderate flavors of dark + toasted + caramel malts with moderate amounts of lactose sweetness as well as just a hint of roasted malts. That is followed by just shy of moderate flavors of vanilla + cinnamon. Finally there is a hint of earthy hops which impart a very light amount of roasty bitterness which fades away pretty quickly leaving light lingering malty sweetness + vanilla + cinnamon.

M: Slightly heavier than medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Smooth and slightly slick.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a lighter than expected mouthfeel for the style though that works well with the flavors/aromas. Enjoyable cinnamon + vanilla flavors along with the malty sweetness.

Drinking this at home.
Poured from a 16 ounce can into a pint glass.
Looks dark brown almost black with a nice foamy tan head that dropped quickly to a thin ring and light lacing.
Smells malty sweet, cinnamon and vanilla.
Taste follows the nose nicely, very sweet, like a cinnamon roll, vanilla with a hint of cocoa.
Mouth feel is medium plus for the style and lingers on the tongue.
Overall a very nice Milk Stout that I would definitely drink again.
Cheers!
