Keegan Ales Mothers Milk Stout

Good little brew here... Very dark and full of roasted malt flavor, this stout typifies what a milk stout should be... Good tasting but not too rich..

So these guys from Keegan DO know how to brew!! Hot damn! After their awful showing with Hurricane Kitty, it left an awful taste in my mouth in more than one way. But this was a total 180. An aroma of consisting of mainly chocolate and coffee, but after having that Hurricane Kitty crap this stuff tasted like Darkness!! Appearance was black with a creamy off-white head. A smooth, mellow mouthfeel with just the right thickness. Flavor was roasted malts/coffee, a bit of chocolte and finishes with a nice bitterness. Good stuff.

BOTTLE. Pours almost black with pleasant aroma of roast malts Full but not heavy bodied. The milk probably contributes to the well rounded creaminess, but is not obvious - I had kinda feared a Starbucks-like concoction, but thankfully not one. Nice overall BUY AGAIN? Yes

on tap at HDG. Almost black with a tan head. Aroma: light roast with chocolate. Taste is chocolate, with some light lactose sweetness, and roast. Some tart fruit- roast gets a bit astringent.

Sweet toffee toasted aroma. Dark with minimal head. Crisp finish with some prune sweetness followed by toasted caramel maltiness.

Druahgt at Hop Devil, NYC. Black color, creamy offwhite head. Milky, malty chocolate aroma. Malty, milky flavor, some hops, some cocoa and chocolate.

(Bottle) Pours a dark brown body with a medium beige head. Aroma of roastiness, lactose, cocoa, and oatmeal. Flavor of roasted malt, coffee, semi-bitter chocolate, and some caramel with a dry finish.

Very dark brown with a thin film of grayish tan receded from an originally thick and pillowy cream. Some cinnamon and lots of weak coffee, heavy with cream and sugar, in the aroma; wet mulch, some roast, and distant fruits. Flavor is all crisp apple and sarsaparilla, with tepid hints of maple, honey, and foliage. Weird, weak citrus, pears, and iron water in a doughy, oily mid palate. Some mild tartness. Palate is crisp and quiet; medium bodied and sharply carbonated. Lots of ashy roast and mild astringency in the fairly long and wet finish. Lots of good qualities, but no conversion. Thanks Chris!
