COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This stout beer pays tribute to the Butternuts Brewery’s former life as a dairy farm. It’s a more drinkable version of the Stout breed than its heavy, boorish and smelly European sisters. We use lactose sugar for body and mouthfeel; not too strong, not too viscous at 4.9% abv. Unlike a true bovine it has a malty, roasty aroma and a dry finish but no tail or teats, and leaves no unsightly cow pies laying around the yard for you to step in.

60minuteman (432) - Frazer, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 1, 2012
Malty roasted malt smell. Sweet and sugary. Milk comes through, as does a lot of coffee. Interesting for a sweet stout.

Scrapersnbeer (980) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - JUL 19, 2012
Aroma of coffee, chocolate, sugar and cream. Black, thick stout look. Taste is a strange bittersweet, with some sour finish notes. Thin body for a stout, has the weight of dunkel maybe. After doing the Butternut mixer, I’ve went from thinking the beers weren’t very good because they’re canned, to deciding they are canned to cover their not being very good. Would be great as cheap beers, but cheap they are not.

BVery (4251) - Burnsville, Minnesota, USA - JUL 10, 2012
Can from Bert’s Better Beers in Hooksett, NH. Dark brown pour with a nice rich brown head. Aroma is roasty malts, a touch of lactose sweetness, and a bit of sour. Medium palate. Taste is roasty, sweet, but again a bit of sour coming through. Decent nonetheless.

BucannonXC5 (567) - San Diego, California, USA - JUL 9, 2012
Had in Blue Mountain Lake, N.Y., on July 3, 2012. Can into a pint glass. Two fingers of head. Black color. Tan lacing with long lasting, good retention. Smelled dark chocolate, coffee beans, toffee, caramel and chocolate ice cream. Tasted pretty close to the nose. Got coffee malts, dark chocolate, smoky fire, all with a good finish. Full body, Creamy texture. Above average carbonation. Long, smooth finish. A very nice beer and great way to end my variety pack. Would definitely have it again.

redpooba (374) - New York, USA - JUN 29, 2012
A malty brown-black beer with a frosted brown head. It has all the normal marks of a simple stout but there are hints of sweetness to surprise you. The malts are roasted with full flavor. Surprisingly a very good stout.

negron (33) - Stamford, Connecticut, USA - JUN 29, 2012
UPDATED: JUL 1, 2012 A very drinkable, light bodied, lightly textured stout. Malts and roasted grains. Dry finish. Much better in the can than in the glass.

HighWine (842) - Whalesbro, Illinois, USA - JUN 25, 2012
Can to plastic cup. Black pour with a short lived brown head. Aroma of charred wood. Taste is toasty and slightly sweet. Thin in the mouth. Quaffable milk stout. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
