16oz can consumed blind, courtesy of JayO'Rear, probably aided & abetted by Dimidiata. Canned March 11, 2021, per the stamp on the bottom of the can, which also says "Sip Lord." It should be known, if the name doesn't explain it for you, that this is a Star Wars themed beer, and features a face remarkably similar to Lord Vader. That is, if Vader's head was a skull and he was being a shit lord about all the world's coffee. Fuck, just go look it up, I don't know...
Fairly tight but enduring mocha colored head. Not a lot of lace unless I swirl the glass a little agressively.
As it warms, the nose seems faintly smoky as well as roasty, and there's a little bit of something almost briney. An oyster stout, maybe?
Taste does not match what I just typed. This has a milky, chocolatey, slightly spicy, slightly coffeeish and very slight fruity taste to it. The chocolateyness is not particularly out of compass with the rest of the beer, so it may simply be some very skillful use of dark malts rather than actual chocolate or maybe cocoa nibs being used in it. It does not seem at all like a barrel aged beer, and if this is, in fact, a boozy beer, it's hiding any such booziness extraordinarily well.
Creamy mouthfeel, with a body somewhere between medium and full.
I've no idea what beer I'm drinking in terms of specific brewery or beer. I strongly suspect what I'm drinking is a milk stout of some sort, possibly one with one or more adjuncts added with a fairly light touch.
Okay, so I was partly right. It is a milk stout, but the coffee was just low enough in the mix that I didn't interpret it as a coffee stout. That's not a bad thing, sometimes when folks make a coffee stout they lay it on so strong you can no longer tell it's even a stout, whereas it was obvious with every sip this was a milk stout (perhaps the lactose helped make that obvious to me). Anyway, I really enjoyed this beer, and had fun drinking it blind and guessing at it. Maybe I should drink beers blind more often. Thanks Jay (and, perhaps, Christine!)!
