Keegan Ales Mothers Milk Stout

355 ml bottle. Pitch black with some copper hues. Sweet roasted malt aroma. Smooth texture. Quite sweet, but the dark malts balance the other malts quite well. Soft aftertaste with rounded powdery dark flavours.

Pours deep brown with a small creamy tan head. Aroma of fruit and roasted chocolate malts. Thge flavor is sweet, fruity, chocolate, roast, sweet. Good body, good brew.

I thought this was an excellent version of a stout. It pours midnight black and gives subtle hints of the chocolate on the nose. The mouthfeel shows some nice density and smoothness and thre are some coffee notes there as well.

Bottle, poured dark brown, thin creamy head. Chocolate, ripe berries, coffee on the aroma. Flavor is thick, creamy, chocolate/coffee. Smooth maltiness rounds it all out. Delicious stout, impressive.

Deep dark brown coloured body, about 90% opaque with a small tan head. Aroma of metal, cherries, prunes, apples, roasted malt and a tiny bit of coffee - more fruity than roasty. Medium to Light-bodied; Super sweet flavour of caster sugar, milk (lactic qualities here, definitely), prunes, plums, raisins and some smoke. Aftertaste more reminiscent of a sweet beer - fruit and caramel are the key players in the palate. Overall, definitely a nice one - perhaps one of the better sweet stouts i’ve ever had. Get this one if you can find it - you won’t be dissapointed. I found my twelve ounce bottle, which I purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 13-April-2007.

Small brown head, mediocre retention. Black body, somewhat opaque, ruby tinges. Aroma is sweet malts, both roasty and chocolatey, light coffee, oatmeal, mild vanilla. A pleasant enough nose, if not timid in its expression. Flavor is more chocolate and light, sweet roast, very lightly acidic. Lactic acid is noticeable and appropriately dispersed. Finishes bittersweet, thin and brief, mild roast lingering. Palate is creamy, light-medium to medium bodied. This is a very drinkable beer, nicely done; very reserved and placating. No doubt a wonderful addition to a long session.

golden head (whatever that does) black beer. caramel and cocoa hints. thin and yes astringent. not bad, not real good. decent body and as good as guiness.

small light brown head, fair retention with a thin band of stringy lace. Black brew with some ruby hues around the edges. Nose is lightly sour, lacto? But with the same metallic notes as the IPA. Body is medium, sorta thin, lightly astringent, lightly creamy. Light roast flavors with notes of bandaid and caramel malts. Finish is dry and luckily not as astringent as the IPA. Some kinda house funk going on or maybe some old product? Received in trade with coldbrewky.
