COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is our version of a milk stout, originally named Fresh Powder Milk Stout. A milk stout is simply a stout brewed with an addition of Lactose, a non-fermentable milk sugar, used to create sweetness and a fuller body and mouthfeel in the beer. This is the sweetest stout that we brew, not only because of the addition of lactose, but because of the low hop bitterness, and higher residual sugar content. It is very full bodied beer, often perceived as thick and creamy.

jercraigs (6477) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 12, 2013
2013-04-30. Very dark brown black body, fast fading tan head. Mild aroma, light roast and sweet dark malt. Flavour is similar, light roast, sweet dark malt. Mild lingering roast and a bit of lactose malt sweetness in the finish and aftertaste. Smooth average bodied palate, soft carbonation is just a touch light for the beer. On tap at the brewery

paulvanpelt (161) - Reusel, NETHERLANDS - APR 26, 2013
Zwart bier met donkerbruine kraag die snel inzakt. Aroma van drop, koffie, hout. Smaak is bitterdroog, licht zuur. Melkige komt door in het mondgevoel.

Dark brown with thick tan head. Sweet smell, chocolate, toffee, oak, wheat, and lemon. Taste is placid: some lemon and cocoa but also roasted malt and hop

Dfonorow (710) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAR 27, 2013
Bottle. Deep dark black with a small tan head. Not much lacing. Nose is rich milk chocolate, cream, roasted malts, and a little bit of licorice and coffee. Taste is mostly coffee, the other notes are pretty subdued. A bit thin, a bit sweet, sessionable.

I would not know this was a milk stout if it weren’t right there in the name. It was thin, watery, and a bit dry - not the thicker, creamier, sweeter beer I was expecting.

Eructoblaster (2444) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 25, 2013
Bottle - 12oz. Opaque black body with a thin beige creamy head. Decent, well balanced malty/hoppy aroma with grainy hints. Taste is slightly dominated by hoppy flavors. It carries malty and roasty notes. Ends with a good bitter/roasty finish. Enjoyable.

AKThunder (152) - New York, USA - MAR 10, 2013
This beer is a Milk Stout, only the second of this variety that I have ever had. It tastes like Ovaltine beer, so if you love yourself milk shakes, you will love Nippletop.

shonobiwan (175) - Sound Beach, New York, USA - FEB 24, 2013
Long Island, NY - 12 oz. bottle pours a dark dark chocolate brown color with beige head. Aroma is malty and warm with woody undertones. Taste is roasted malts with a oaty flavor. I can taste some chocolate and then the alcohol kicks in. There is a good mouth feel, slighty more bodied giving it a candid smoothness. Not a bad brew ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

draft at Coles, black pour more schwarzbier looking than stout. lacking the fuller body and creaminess that it desires. lots of coffee notes, decent flavor, average mouthfeel. OK
