    Definitely not, as Bride Maker (not Baby Maker) was only available from the mezz bar for a couple of hours last Thursday night.

    No lines were crossed during the event. The bar staff alerted me to the fact that someone had questioned whether or not that was the right beer, and I personally confirmed that the keg hooked up to that line was in fact Breakfast at Chico's. I brought it up to the Sierra Nevada reps, none of whom had ever had the beer previously, and we all agreed it wasn't very stout-like. From what I recall, one of them reached out to someone at the brewery, who confirmed that it's much more of a dark amber than a stout. Chalk it up to Breakfast at Chico's being a Beer Camp one-off, perhaps? If you look at some of the reviews on RateBeer, you'll note that others have noticed the same discrepancy as you.

    Thought this was decent but a little too sweet tasting. Probably won't buy again.

    Picked up a few bottles at the brewery and cracked them on Christmas - Id confidently say this is the best hoppy beer JA has yet to make ....

    Had it last night on tap at the brewery. Really enjoyed it found it surprisingly well balanced for a triple. Not overly sweet great citrus flavors.

    My apologies. You can see where the confusion came from - calling that beer a milk stout would be like calling a Bud Light a double IPA.
