blankboy (3165), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 8, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Pours dark brown with red hues and an average size frothy tan head. Dry aroma of roasted malt, a hint of smoke, some coffee and eggshells (!). Flavour is dry and roasty along with a touch of sourness, a hint of green hops and a bit of coffee. Some lactic notes as well and a roasty bitter finish. Average bodied. Creamy mouthfeel. A decent Stout. Haslinger (640), Syracuse, New York, USA Apr 4, 2009 12 ounce bottle. This one was nice and dark. Smelled kind of chocolatelike and tasted the same. Definite roast malt taste in the finish which was thin but good. I liked this oen would buy again HighlanderOne (538), Somewherein, New Jersey, USA Apr 3, 2009 On tap at Stout NYC. They called it oatmeal stout. Smelled of malt and cherry. Black, thin tan head. Flavors of fruit, wood, cocoa, spice, cherry cordial, maybe even some hops. Roasted malt in aftertaste. Very drinkable. Good stuff. jasonp (1504), Sterling/Dulles, Virginia, USA Feb 27, 2009 12 oz bottle given to me buy a co-worker upon a recent trip to NY. Pours black with light brown head which fades into small bit of beige topping which sticks around. Roasted malts and caramel in the nose. Well-balanced flavor but a tad light overall. Notes of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, earthy hop character and a caramel sweetness. Not that bold, doesn’t really stand out but all the flavors are consistent and work well together - nothing too burnt or astringent. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A solid session stout. HogTownHarry (3922), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Feb 14, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Opaque brown-black with a huge fluffy light brown lasting head. Light, soft creamy-chocolate aroma, somewhat floral, grainy - nice, not too sweet. The taste is fairly dry, a little lemony, very light on the roast, probably more light coffee than chocolate to it. Thin body, slightly acidic, mild carbonation, a slightly sour linger ... smells good, otherwise a tad weak. revans (35), Salem, Ohio, USA Jan 31, 2009 Bottle. Drinking this today. So far, so good. Good aroma with chocolate notes. Pours almost black with a good head that stays around. Nice lace. Nice roasty flavor. Finishes a little watery, though. Not a bad milk stout! mgoy (343), Oak Brook, Illinois, USA Jan 26, 2009 Keegan Ales Mothers Milk Stout is a beautiful black in color with a very nice tan head. The aroma and flavor are soft and sweet with chocolate malts while the finish is smooth and silky. CanIHave4Beers (838), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Jan 24, 2009 Roasty and malty sweet nose. Very dark color with a nice tan head an da little lace. Flavor is just awesome, very silky chocolate flavor with some good roasty malt sweetness. Just a shade sweeter than I would like it to be, but a beer this sweet always has it’s time and place. If I were able to purchase this more often I indeed would!
