White Chocolate Stout
This has everything you expect from a chocolate stout – except that it’s white! Our White Chocolate Stout offers rich cocoa and vanilla notes, and we’ve added lactose for added sweetness. It’s full-bodied, easy drinking and very approachable.

If you're looking for a nice, creamy, chocolatey stout then this isn't your beer -- this is a stout made for those who don't like stouts. It honestly just tastes like a cheap lager with a squirt of vanilla extract and artificial sweetener. Is it easy to drink? Yes, but that's about all it has going for it.

355ml can - made with lactose, cocoa nibs, and natural vanilla extract.
This beer pours a hazy, pale golden straw colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and slightly bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some dissolving ice floe profile lace around the glass as it quickly wafts off.
It smells of stale milk chocolate, bready and doughy cereal malt, those little vanilla cookies, and some ethereal earthy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is vanilla-flecked cocoa powder, gritty and grainy caramel malt, simple syrup, and more well-understated floral, herbal, and grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a bit by this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the chocolate and malt essences holding court at the lingering after-party.
Overall - well, one's degree of surprise here comes down to how you parsed the name beforehand. I was expecting a Chocolate Stout, with added lactose and vanilla to make it 'white'. Turns out it's actually a White Stout, with added chocolate. Glad that's all cleared up, and I can get back to enjoying the rest of this offering. Now I want some Oreos.
