I’ve had this a few times. Most recent was the nitro bottle. Creamy full, excellent, just a bit harsh on the roast and cookie, very drinkable, and a staple.

Pours opaque dark beer, just a thin tan layer off-head no lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate and light coffee malt and dark fruity, hints of plums and fig. Flavor is lactose, dark malts and fruity, notes of roasted malt, coffee and toffee. Medium-full body, AWESOME BEER!!!

Pours very dark red with a lows head. Aroma is sweet roasted malts. Flavor is sweet roasted malts with a milky finish. Good.

Nitro Tap at Stillwater Grille in Fort Myers. Dark appearance with minimal head. Very smooth beer with hints of vanilla, chocolate and coffee. Not overly sweet. Was an instant favorite.

very dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and sweet caramel and dried fruit. Creamy full body. Finishes malty. Great beer.

Draft at 508. Dry roasted malt aroma. Opaque body, tan head. Creamy, sweet stout. Very good. Had it before but first time rating.

Draft. Pours black with small tan head. Smells of dark make and cocoa. Taste its lightly bitter. Good

This review is for the bottle Nitro (which RB says is an alias for the Milk Stout. My understanding is that the only difference between the two is an infusion of nitrogen.) I "poured hard", as directed, and almost immediately saw the cascading bubble effect. It was really pretty. After that dissipated, I was left with a glass of beautiful, rich dark brown liquid and a frothy, thick light brown head. Substantial lacing on the sides of the glass. Aroma is malty, caramel, coffee, chocolate. When drinking, seemed really chocolatey. Mouthfeel is heavenly: rich, thick, creamy, milky. Finish is very mild. I’ve had the non-nitro version of this and I think the mouthfeel is a bit better here, but nothing huge.
