Opaque black with thin tan head, nice cascade after pour. Sadly, this beer was kept at room temp by the seller and possibly suffered for it. Aroma a bit plain. Medium lace with stout nose and chocolate finish. Excellent malty body for a stout, one of the best milk stouts I’ve had in ages, second only to Mackeson’s milk stout as brewed in the Caribbean. Great to see a solid entry in this small category.

Jan 5, 2010 Black pour with minimal tan head. Has a really enjoyable smokey flavor but with a bandaid aftertaste that threw me off (something I would expect to find in a not so hot Scotch Ale but not in a milk stout). Felt like there could have been much more going on with this beer but it fell flat.

Jan 2, 2010 Seems like I got an old bottle, as it’s a bit off. Pours a deep brown with a violet hue in the light and a huge foamy light tan head. Aroma took the beating from the age, with a lot of metallic overtones hiding the roasty malts. Flavor seems unharmed though, with a good creamy texture carrying forward the sweet milk sugars, roasted malts, and a tiny bit of hops for balance. Very drinkable, with a great mouthfeel, low ABV, and balanced finish.

Jan 2, 2010 Bottle.
Dark hazy brown color with a thin tan head.
Sweet aroma of chocolate, roasted malt and some coffee. Creamy mouth feel, mild and easy to drink. Aftertaste reminded of hot chocolate but with roasted tones. A nice stout, although sweet.

Dec 19, 2009 Smooth, dark, creamy, sweet and tasty with a nice burnt malt / coffee flavor to the finish as the most outstanding feature. Rather light int he mouth which is OK. Not as memorable as others but a fine brew.

Dec 15, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a dark hazy brown color with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, brown sugar with a creamy note and a very light roast. Taste is roasted malts, coffee, brown sugar, chocolate, vanilla, cream, leafy bitter hops in the finish. Medium bodied. Smooth and creamy. Good beer... one of my favorites from Left Hand.
