Dark stout, brown head. Smell was a little weak on this one, which was surprising because the taste came through. creamy milk stout with a shot of espresso thrown in. That's pretty much the taste and to be expected. nice creamy feel. Not very thick.

Picked up a single from TW Arrowhead 3-12-17 for $1.99. Bottled on 12-22-16.
Beer poured black with a nice long lasting tan head that is leaving lacing behind.
Nose is espresso forward, very nice!
Taste is mild roasted malts infused with espresso and lactose. Finish is sweet but not cloyingly so.
Mouthfeel is lighter than hoped but smooth.
Overall this is a very tasty brew, one i will do again in the future!

L-Mostly black, ruby towards the bottom, with a tan head. Good lacing.
S-Malty chocolate and strong coffee.
T-Excellent espresso flavor, with just the right amount of roasted cocoa and carbonation. Subtle and silky milk foundation. Finishes a wee bit bitter.
Simple, as it should be, well-balanced and mellow.
My second Milk Stout. Grand!

Poured a dark opaque chocolate in a Stone RIS glass with a 2F head.
Great aroma: very strong espresso- strong roasted coffee.
MF: creamy, fuller body- indicative of a milk stout.
Taste: transitions well from the aroma. The Stumptown coffee comes through, very espresso-like, roasted coffee.
Moderately bitter finish.
My first beer from the brewery. Excellent debut.

Pour black but clear as I catch and orange hue at the edge of the glass. Chocolate head of foam that lasts well. Slight clinging. Nose is roasty. Lots of bold coffee and out of the fridge the lactose is like a stiff taffy sweetness. Brown sugar or light caramel. Almost no hops except for a cool minty breath that suggests tree bark. Faint chocolate and tootsie rolls.
taste is silky and lots of coffee. Plenty of roasty malt but I am not tasting any sweetness cream. Hops give a lasting bitter but no herbal. Low fruitiness. This beer is medium dry and moderately roasty. I am not tasting anything milky or creamy though until the swallow. Then it simply lays out a bit. A very light creamy flavor. It finishes the beer softly and medium dry. Medium full, moderate carbonation. Pkgd 2/1/17 these hops are fresh enough to show me pepper at the very end.

From the 12 oz bottle in a snifter. This very nice milk stout pours
a light blackish brown with cola colored highlights and a very nice
head of off white foam that settles to a thick ring, thin pool, and
features some nice light lacing. Nose of coffee, cream, and mild
dark chocolate. Flavors of this fine brew exceed the nose with
smooth cream and mild smooth coffee flavors dipped in dark
chocolate and roasted malts with a very subtle herbal hop note
on the rear. Nice mouth feel; medium body, medium carbonation,
and a subtly dry finish that is lightly sweet.
A very nicely balanced milk stout that is highly enjoyable.
Would love to have this one on tap, but just glad to be getting
more Elysian beers here in Cincinnati. Very nice!
Cheers

On tap in Greenville SC in a Gouden Carolus glass.
Poured dark red-brown, nearly black, with a weak beige head that left spots of lacing.
S: The moderately strong aroma features medium roasted coffee; a particularly nice coffee aroma.
Flavor: the excellent smell carries over to the coffee dominated flavor. Some complexity here with hints of dark dried fruits, dark chocolate and toffee. Faint smoke with coffee in the lingering aftertaste.
M: Medium-full bodied with light-medium carbonation.
Overall: recommended.
