Drank on tap at Saltbox Kitchen, Concord, MA
Served in a becker
Terrific appearance. The thinner bodied, dark brown liquid was capped by a super tight and creamy, two-finger tall, light khaki crown. This definitely looked like it came from a nitro tap, even though it did not. The head slowly fell to a lasting cap of froth. Drippy rings of lacing coated much of the glass.
A powdery and dry yeastiness dominated in the aroma initially. After the head fell, some stout-like qualities came forth. Strong roasted malt character. Touch of espresso. Not much else going on unfortunately.
The flavor profile was similar to the nose but slightly more interesting. Roasted malts were most noticeable. A dry, powdery yeasty quality was apparent here as well. Touch of espresso in the center. Hint of sweetness. Roasted malts and bitter grains rounded out things on the back end and in the finish.
The mouthfeel was pretty lackluster. Medium-thin bodied for the style. The liquid contained a very fine, subtle carbonation that was reminiscent of something one might find in a cask ale.
Jean’s Highland Chief bills itself as a “coffee chocolate milk stout,” but I picked up hardly any coffee (maybe a touch of espresso) or any sweetness and absolutely no chocolate or lactose. Furthermore, the mouthfeel was super thin. This might be an acceptable Irish dry stout, but it resembled nothing close to a classic milk stout.
