Tried at Kumo Izakaya during GBW2013, during the Herkimer/Kumo beer and sake dinner.
Pours a deep, dark brown thick in the body, but still fluid. Head is gorgeous: silky and full, and leaving fine speckled lace as it goes down. Pretty much, it does everything you want from a milk stout.
Nose is a little bit subdued: smooth but light. Very light, in fact. Some berry characters, a suggestion of cherry, along with a dusty, earthy character and some faint, dry desiccated cocoa.
There's definitely cherry characters on the palate as well. Clean and smooth through the front to mid palate with a touch of bite on the back. Some ephemeral characters of grape juice come through as well. It's tasty enough, but still very light.
The feel is probably the aspect which suffers most from the lightness. While it's smooth, it's also quite thin: more body would really help.
Overall, it's decent enough but it didn't win me over completely. It's a shame, because it looked so good and had plenty of promise.
