Nice milk stout, does a great job hiding the alcohol. Smell is very chocolatey. It's definitely on the sweet side and overall a bit thin with the feel, for my taste anyway considering it's a milk stout. It's a solid beer, good for a dinner dessert or a late night weekend sip with a friend.

On draft at philadelphia airport
Pours an inku black with khaki head- smells of cocoa, milk chocolate, molasses- taste is sweet malts forward- cocoa, sweet milk chocolate and qnd hints of molasses, a little leather and transition to a hint of piney hops with a fairly clean- if sweer finish. Rather light bodied for a stout, consistency of 1% milk- failry clean finish for such a sweet beer.
Overall- not a bad milk stout- the biggest demerits were for the thin body and rather simple flavor profile. Not bad- but i wouldnt seek it out

When you first pour it has a thick milky chocolate colored head which quickly fades. The color of the overall beer is dark chocolate in color.
Smell is great got a roasted chocolate coffee aroma. The coffee smell I got was a med to dark roast, the dark chocolate smell immediately hits you with the coffee following and if u search there’s almost a hint of sweetness like carmel.
The taste was cool definitely is consistent with the dark chocolate smell and coffee. Again the dark chocolate taste is predominantly the taste throughout. The mouth feel was a little thin I was expecting it to be a little more thinker giving the chocolate. Towards the back end I felt the alcohol which wasn’t too bad just a little kick. Overall it’s a pretty good beer. My first from Lancaster

Near black with a reddish hue and chocolate milk colored head. Solid lacing. Roasted malt and a little umami in the nose. These continue up front in the taste up with a definite milky, lactose addition and strong powdered chocolate behind. Sort of Nestle Quik-like. Medium bodied with a moderate creamy slickness to the feel. A bit more roasty than I generally like in a milk stout, but still pretty tasty.

12oz bottle poured into a snifter
A- pours deep black in color with a thin foamy khaki colored head that quickly reduces to just a ring around the edge
S- big notes of rich milk chocolate, along with caramel/toffee & milky sweetness. A hint of coffee but overall lots of dark milk chocolate
T- sweet dark milk chocolate up front, along with notes of caramel. Mid-palate gives some char and roast, the finish gives a hint of coffee and linger of milk chocolate
M- medium body with moderate-low carbonation leads to a slightly foamy mouthfeel than finishes a bit flat
O- I prefer this to the regular version as it seems to have more milk chocolate notes
