Pint can, no date - sampled in my Samuel Smith nonic.

Pale jonquil body with a fizzy rapidly vanishing dusting of foam leaving a vague collar. Poor retention, faint lacing.

Toasted sugar, peanut marzipan, and canela greet the nose.

Sweet palate entry with the alcohol and horchata notes suggesting a cheap soju with hints of melon, sorghum, and spice. Low bitterness, non-specific (perhaps a hint of orange) hop flavor, and flaccid malt struggling to emerge from the lactose. Sweet-ish finish, though not quite cloying.

Thin yet oily body with mediocre carbonation and surprisingly warming despite the modest ABV.

Not at all to style; not at all to my taste.

perfectly clear gold color with thin head that dissipates quickly. No lacing. looks like an almost flat Budweiser but smells and tastes exactly like advertised: Milk Stout with a bit of heat. Very mild carbonation. Kudos to the brewer collaboration for exactly nailing the description, even if it is not a classic stout.

 

lightly chocolate taste and a hint of peppers smooth beer
