on nitro tap at gambrinus. black with a small nitro head. big sweet,lightly roasted, highly drinkable stout. i could have done pints of this one. should be made again.

Sampled on tap at FMB tasting. Poured an almost opaque jet black with a small tight beige cap. Aroma is delicious – light lactic sweetness, big roasty-cocoa tones over some mellow grassy yeasty undertones. Medium bodied with a rich mouth feel, smooth and silken on the palate. Front side of the profile has great malty-nutty-roasty notes with a wonderful creamy sweetness that rides just below the malts and never gets cloying…. hops are present but are in the background adding a pleasant bitter-herb compliment. Long wet finish rich in creamy-roasty decadence with a light hop bite right at the end. Wonderful brew! Milk stout is one of my favorite drinks and totally underrepresented in this market (I can never find enough to drink regularly). This FMB offering is milk stout as it should be – as I would brew it for myself…. a smooth rich silken flavor bomb, creamy sweetness in tow with decadent roasty-cocoa character. This brew impressed me. I bet it would run great sales numbers if it was ever made widely available.
