Keegan Ales Mothers Milk Stout

On tap at the brewery. Pours a dark black with a medium sized light tan head. Smokey toasted malt aromas with a hint of sweetness. Body is a little thin, bordering on medium, with even more roasted malt coming through. Finish again has nice roasted elements and a gentle bitterness to balance it all out.

Pours a dark cola color with a bit of a tan head. Aroma is malt chocolate and bitter coffee. Flavor has some nice stout characteristics, but there iss a weird metallic aftertaste and the coffee bitterness clings to the inside of your mouth a bit unpleasantly. Not bad, but not great.

Pours dark brown with a light cream head that last for a little while and leaves no lacing. The aroma is heavy on roasted malts, chocolate and coffee. The taste follows the aroma with a more bitter coffee flavor than the aroma. The mouthfeel is light and fairly thin with some carbonation. This is an average stout that is fairly basic overall.

Ebony body with a mocha wig, this stout warns you with strong coffee and chocolate notes. A bit too much on the mocha side for me, but very smooth and relaxing.

Appearance: Deep black with a creamy pancake head. Aroma: Smoky, peat and malt, some coffee and chocolate there too. Flavour: Smoke, peat and malt. Nice and honest brew.

Pours black with a beige head. Aroma is of dust, some coffee and licorice. Roasted malt followed by some nice sweetness and a dry bitter finish. The body is a little too light – it lacks the silkiness I would expect from the oats and the sweetness from the lactose – both important ingredients in a milk stout. Perhaps they should add more.

12oz bonus from phhd. Pours black with a tan head. Nose is sweet and roasty. Taste is just eh, if you ask me. So this is decent but doesn’t do it for me.

Bottle. Pours deep brown with a tan head. Roasted aroma with coffee beans. The flavor is rather one dimensional with a light roasted presence and coffee grounds. Not bad.
