UPDATED: MAR 1, 2012 Very dark brown with a small brown head. Aroma of chocolate and roast. Taste is semi-sweet chocolate and milk with some mild roast flavors. Medium bodied; not a thick stout, but quite good.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours dense pitch black color with a nice 2 finger dense dark tan head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big dark chocolate, caramel, toffee, butterscotch, cocoa, vanilla, cream, roasted malt, coffee, and light toast. Damn nice aromas with great complexity and balance of sweet dark malt notes; quite unique as well. Taste of dark chocolate, caramel, toffee, butterscotch, cocoa, vanilla, cream, roasted malt, coffee, and light toast. No bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, caramel, toffee, butterscotch, cocoa, vanilla, cream, roasted malt, and coffee on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of sweet dark malt flavors; with zero cloying sweetness present after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very creamy, slick, and lightly syrupy mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice milk stout! Great balance and robustness of sweet dark malt flavors; and extremely smooth to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

On tap at The Bottle Shop. Pours black with a medium tan head. The aromas are chocolate, roasted coffee. The mouthfeel us dry, roasty and slightly watery with a big body and medium carbonation. Cheers!

Pours dark -- duh, it’s a stout. Chocolate milk, roasted malt, a hint of fruit and caramel. Good stuff.

Bottle. Pours a rich opaque black with a tall, sticky, lacey brown head. Nose is brown sugar, cafe au lait, and vanilla. Prodigious smoke and dark fruit on the front of the tongue, followed by espresso and vanilla. Bourbon on the finish. I like this very much.

Aroma of milk chocolate and roasted malts. A dark brown pour with a mostly diminishing tan head and no lacing. The taste is roasted malts along with smooth sweet milk chocolate (lactose). There’s a fizzy hoppy finish. Medium body with medium carbonation. Overall, a very nice sweet stout. Would drink again.

Bottle from RBWG. Smell of funk, sweet, oak. Front forward and a bit bitter. This really need to be more thick bodied. Way too thin in the back end.

Nice average milk stout... sweet with a bitterness. Solid B, but nothing special compared to all the milk stouts out there.
