Can to nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-dark brown close to black sort of color with a finger's worth of white foamy head that slid off at a fairly quick pace. Sliding lace.
The aroma had a huge sweet side of a blend of milk chocolate, caramel, vanilla and toffee.
The flavor was mainly sweet through the prior mentioned aromas and seemed to glide gently into the aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt a bit under. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, is this supposed to be a milk/sweet stout? I didn't mind this for me so much, but did think to myself what the brewer's intentions were with this beer.

S- cocoa and vanilla with toffee malt
F- cocoa and vanilla. same as the nose.
M- smooth and sweet but lacks depth with the cocoa.
O- good but the vanilla overshadows the cocoa at time.

Pours a nice dark brown color, nice carbonation, with a pretty nice small off-white head, which leaves some sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, with some chocolate/toffee, vanilla. The taste is malty, chocolate/toffee, vanilla. Medium body, with a nice dry/bitter finish. Overall, a pretty tasty brew.
