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.

Jun 22, 2008 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Black with lasting tan head and lace. Roasted chocolate coffee chocolate chip cookie and earthy aroma. Medium roasted chocolate and coffee with mild fruit and medium coffee dark chocolate bitterness. Medium body medium-low carb with creamy silky texture. Pretty damn good and flavorful.

May 7, 2008 12 oz bottle, via trade. Pours a very dark brown body with a fizzy thinnish light brown head. The nose is roasty with a good bit of coffee and some chalky yeast. The flavor is very chalky with a slight lactic sugary finish. A little caramel and yeastiness. Mouthfeel is a little on the thinner side with nice soft fizzy carbonation. Overall, a passable Sweet Stout, but not something that I’d seek out again.

Apr 17, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours black with a large tan colored head that faded to a film by mid-glass and left partial lacing. Very pleasant aroma of coffee and, to a lesser extent, chocolate. Very promising beginning. The flavor is a bit of a disappointment. The coffee and chocolate that I enjoyed in the aroma are gone, and replaced with some lightly roasted malt and tobacco. Lightly sweet, but also some dryness that lingers for a bit after the swallow. This is a decent stout with some plusses and minuses.

Apr 14, 2008 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..
