Bottle. Pours dark with a nice tan head. Nice sweet aroma and very inviting. The taste is a little harsh upfront. A little sour in the middle. Good beer, but not what I expect from a milk stout.

From the July 3R6P tasting. +++ Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a medium sized dark tan head that left good lacing. The aroma was bitter malts, port wine, vanilla, anise and cocoa. The flavor was port wine, vanilla, cream, anise, cocoa, coffee and lactose. The finish was long with port wine, vanilla and anise lingering. Creamy and thick body. Very nice.

Bottle shared at the NY Meet the TURD tasting. Pours dark chocolate with khaki lacing. Aroma is rich of fudge and whisky. Flavor is full of tobacco and chocolate extract. Oak and milk chocolate sweetness in the background. Long lasting pipe smoke with sweet milk chocolate in the finish. Thin, silky smooth body. Increasing whisky flavor.
