2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 11/20
Black pour, small light tan head soapy bubbles. Thin palate, especially for a stout. Aroma was lightly toasty hint of coffee kind of bitterness and a touch of chocolate. Underwhelming flavor some light roast, touch of bitter coffee some light milk chocolate in the aftertaste. A very forgettable stout that had some potential that it appears just was not well executed.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Imperial pint Draft at Moosejaw. Opaque black with a steady thin beige-brown head. Sweet malty milkshake aroma. Medium bodied, done quite nicely and true to style. Smooth chocolate tones, some lactose creaminess. Straightforward.
3.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap at the brewpub, pours black with a good off-white head. Some chocolate in the nose. Taste is thick and creamy with chocolate, coffer, and some alcohol. I’m often hesitant about milk stouts, but this is a very good beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the Great Lakes Brewfest 2009. Dark brown with a medium beige head that provides minimal lacing. Aroma of dark roasted malt, lactose and mild chocolate. Taste of lactose, roasted malt, mild chocolate and mild hops. Mildly chewy on the palate but not bad overall.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at GTMW. Poured hazy deep brown with a well-retained cap of beige head. The aroma picked up sweet chocolate and toasted black malts accented by a little vanilla.. presented decently enough for the style. The flavor found even sweeter chocolates, some black patent, and caramel at the core with light overall roast.. just a touch smoky.. again OK. Too sweet on the palate and well-carbonated.. balance was alright.. most certainly drinkable.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Growler courtesy of Skyview. Black color with a medium head. Sweet malt aroma and lots of lactose sweetness. The milk backs off a bit in the taste, but the overall sweetness and slick malt are still there. Just a little bit of an English earthy hop bitterness to finish it off.
3.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very nice milk stout. Served on tap at the brewery. Pint glass with co2 pour. Creamy 1 finger head, nice lace. Sweet chocolate milk nose. Very black color. Taste is mocha then whole milk followed by roasted coffee and just a slight hoppy finish. Similar to Brau Brother’s Cream Stout. Very good representation of the style. A nice surprise.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On draught at the brewpub in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. Pours a hazy cola brown brew with a creamy and lumpy light tan head that has some good retention and some sticky lacing. Aroma of toasted oatmeal malt, chocolate, sweet cream, lactose and some flowery hops. Taste is full-bodied, smooth, creamy with flavors of mild dark oatmeal malt, some dry molasses, lactose, and chocolate. Finish has a slight dry malt aftertaste that turns into a semi-sweet vanilla and chocolate flavor. The lactose is present in this milk stout.
