Double Chocolate Milk Stout
Lancaster Brewing Company

 

Double Chocolate Milk Stout pours black with not much head. The aroma is mild but sweet and filled with fresh milk chocolate. The flavor is sweet and very creamy, lots of lactose sweet milk chocolate, very candy like. Good body and feel. Overall, a very rich milk stout loaded with sweet milk chocolate notes.

 

 

 

 

12 oz. can. Black body with a creamy beige head. Strong chocolate flavor with a smooth mouthfeel. Slight roasted bitterness and minimal hop presence.

This is wonderful example of the style and a long-time favorite of mine.

 

 

A semi-aggressive pour from a can into a shaker provided a khaki 2-finger head, which dissipated to a skim that laced nicely. Very dark brown but not black.

Nose is heavy (I mean HEAVY) chocolate, almost like chocolate liqueur. A hint of coffee if swirled. Hop aroma is close to nil.

Taste of chocolate follows the nose, but to a lesser degree. No harsh roast, and I didn’t get the “intense roasted malts” mentioned in the description by Lancaster. I was pleased/impressed by the bittering; coupled with the roast and chocolate it gives me on/and/off impressions of coffee and bitter-sweet chocolate.

Mouthfeel is not as thick as a ‘heavy’ oatmeal stout, not as thin as a regular stout. I’ll call it “baby bear” good for this beer. Carbonation is just enough to escape you in a swallow, but enough to fizz a bit if swished in the mouth and release the mild roast/coffee and (again) chocolate.

Overall, this is a winner in y book. Not only because I liked it, but also because I think the brewer hit the target. This is my second Lancaster double chocolate milk stout. It was supplied by a friend up PA way who comes to my area only occasionally…..I’ll be hitting him up for more.

 

Thanks to Ozzylizard for this one, from his box during NBS BIF #14. 12oz can poured into 14oz teku. Poured a solid black color with about an inch-and-a-quarter of light brown head that had great retention and light lacing.

The aroma was strong chocolate. Very strong chocolate. There were some light malt notes hanging around, and no hop presence.

Pretty much the same on the tongue, with just a slight touch of roast added in.

The body was pretty typical; medium-full, smooth, and with a medium finish that leaned a bit towards sweet.

Drinkability was very nice, I'd have it again, but I probably wouldn't have two in a row.

Overall, a nicely enjoyable brew. Certainly worth trying if you see it.

Good flavor - flat

 

Pours a very dark color with a slight head and lacing
Aroma has generous milk chocolate hints
The taste follows the nose with a nice milk chocolate flavor
A medium bodied decently carbonated beer
A good Stout

12oz can into snifter glass, served at cellar temp

L- Pours dark minimal foam which dissipates quickly.
S- The chocolate notes are definitely there. Very pleasant
T- Sweet, lactose - a little sweet for my liking but I think this was the intent of the brewer. The sweet aftertaste definitely persists which might appeal to some... not to me.
F- Well balanced
O- Similar to my experiences with other "sweet" stouts. I think it achieves its objective. It is definitely chocolatey and sweet, so this will probably hit the mark for those looking for a dessert-y beer. I think this is best appreciated by others however.

This beer is literally chocolate milk, with a whole lotta chocolate added. Super tasty.
