Commercial Description:
This English style of beer, also known as Sweet Stout or Cream Stout, first appeared in London in the late 1800’s. The early brewers touted the health benefits of the milk sugar in this beer which today relates mainly to the increased amount of calories(no real health benefits…sorry). The milk sugar adds a well rounded sweetness to this dark beer and makes it an outstanding, year ‘round stout.

Tap @ The White Horse: Impenetrable black with a bright, white head. A burnt coffee and cream aroma. Very roasted, super coffee flavours. Man...that is the shit. Iced coffee mania. Oh hells yes. Burnished, rich and crisp.

Poured in a standard pint glass. Had high hopes for it, but turned out to be lacking body. Smelled and tasted of light chocolate and barely a hint of coffee. Very light bodied and a bit roasty. Decent beer. Enjoyable, but I had this the day after I tasted Duck Rabbit’s Milk Stout which was much better in my opinion.

355 mL.Shared with SpencerDB. Pours a deep ruby with a two-three finger tan, rocky head with good retention but no lacing. Aroma is roast, semisweet chocolate, cheap coffee. Taste is a bit carboardy, lots of bitter chocolate, roasty. Nothing to write home about. A bit of an oily mouthfeel but still light-bodied overall.

Roasted coffee aromas. Flavors of chocolate and roasted coffee with a little underlying sweetness. Creamy mouthfeel. Overall very decent milk stout.

It’s kind of like Yoohoo + beer. Extremely creamy, with a strong chocolate finish. Coats your mouth, but doesn’t go away. Enjoyable in small quantities.

12 oz bottle from Princeton’s. Dark brown pour, thick crate-like head that quickly reduces to a thin tan head. Faint roasted chocolate aroma. Sweet chocolate flavor with a smooth creamy finish.

bottle from Berts Bierhuis, Utrecht. Pours a dark beer with an good head. Strong aroma with hints of roasted malts. Taste is creamy and bitter. Aftertaste is sweet. Good beer. My first Sweet Stout. Like to try more Left Hand beers.

Backlog. Bottle. Sweet chocolate and roasted malts throughout the experience. Otherwise, it is rather syrupy and sweet.
