Pours a dark oranngeish brown color. Smells of burnt molasses.also smells some brown sugar. Taste is malty with the burnt caramel and molasses tastes. Bit too sweet.

Draft at Bowie location. Came to the table a dark amber color with a small light-tan head. Standard lager aroma of sweet caramel with a touch of toasted malts. Equally standard flavor of sweet caramel upfront with some toasted graininess and a bit of nuttiness at the tail end. Thin to medium-bodied. Nothing else happening here.

Copper color with a small head. Aroma is earthy, spice and a little nutty. Flavor is a bit brighter, aroma is mild. Flavor has more spice but is a bit dry and earthy for me. Ditto on wanting that Devils Milk.

Growler at Moosetoberfest from richlikebeer, thanks for sharing Rich. Poured a reddish brown body with an average size creamy light beige head. Aroma of chocolate, spice, grains and citrus. Flavor of grain, rye, chocolate, orange citrus and spice. Solid but man I wish this was the usual growler of Devils Milk Rich normally brings.

Clear copper color with no head. Aroma of toasted malts, caramel, and bread. Flavor of toasted malts, caramel, and nuts. Decent.

Copper with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of toasted malts, caramel, and nuts. Taste of caramel malts, nuts, toast, and light brown sugar.

Draft at Arundel Mills. Pours copper amber with a dissipating white off white head. Faint lagery aroma with some sweet bready notes. Lighter side of medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavor of toasted malts, caramel, wet grains, and a hint of cinnamon. Simple and clean finish.

I recall tasting this along side the spiced munich 31, and remembering how bland this was in comparison. Nothing much to write home about here, drinkable, but not a whole lot of flavor.
