andrewturba (456) - Alberta, CANADA - APR 21, 2013
Pours an opaque black with small tan head that quickly amounts to a thin creamy ring. Aroma is made up of roasted malts, cocoa, coffee, cream like sweetness and a mild fruitiness. Flavour is sweet cream, coffee, and chocolate. Really tasty full bodied creamy beer I just cant get enough of.

sulawang (408) - British Columbia, CANADA - APR 5, 2013
pours a very dark brown with a small head, thin retention, some activity near the surface. Coffee and sweet dark malts on the nose. Attack: 7/10-sweetness, tingly/fizzy mouthfeel Mid-palate: coffee, chocolate, malt, creaminess, persistent sweetness brought out by the lactose, light roast Finish: partially thin finish, light coffee bitter One of their better ones from this brewery. It goes quite nice with beef but not much carry on its own.

341ml bottle. Didn’t have a fridge at work, so (after hours) I just had one warm. Nice tan, thick head. Dark brown around the side of glass. Deep, dark roasted and chocolate aroma. Flavour is dark chocolate, sweet, caramely malt. This beer is all about the body, thick and creamy, balances fantastic with the sweetness and chocolate coffee. Well done milk stout. Will be drinking this again.

Lagerboy (670) - British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 3, 2013
Dark brown with a faint ruby hue, foamy mocha head vanishes instantly. Sweet milk chocolate and restrained dark roasted malt aroma. Creamy sweet dark roasty malts, chocolate, coffee and milk sugar, low bitterness. Lightly carbed, light bodied, low hopped. Light and sweet, faint bitter finish. Nice desert beer.

Gerbeer (859) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 23, 2013
341 ml bottle. Pours black with medium tan head. Aromas of roasted malt, light chocolate and a hint of dark fruit. Flavors of weak coffee, sweetened dark chocolate and roasted malt. Nice smooth session-able stout.

Reimer96 (590) - Alberta, CANADA - FEB 16, 2013
Pours a clear black with a small brown fizzy head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, cream and even some cookie biscuit aroma. Taste is roasted malts, slight chocolate, and a sweet cookies and cream taste with some hops present. Mouthfeel is a fullish bodied beer with a very creamy mouth feel. This is an excellent sweet stout.

vadie (210) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 3, 2013
Je l’ai trouvé un peu bizzare. Dans la verre c’est très sombre, comme un stout est supposé d’être. À ce point, tout est normale. L’arôme est peu orthodoxe, je ne sais pas comment la décrire. Un peu sucré, un peu malté, j’suppose. Le goût est un peu sucré mais ce n’est pas comme un stout typique. D’abord je trouve pas de malt, ni chocolat, café, ou reglisse... pas grand chose de normale. En fin, le goût de malt apparaît mais il manque completement d’houblons. C’est très onctueux et crémeux, je sais pourquoi il s’appele un ’milk stout.’ Je la trouve très déséquilibré, du sucre sourdiné avec une finale légèr de malt. Je sens un peu mal lui donner qu’un 2,8 parc’que c’est interessant et je l’ai trouvé assez bonne, mais quand je réfléchis je ne peut pas donner plus de points parc’que, selon moi, il n’est pas mieux que les bières que j’ai donné 2,9 points ou plus. Désolé. :/

presario (4406) - Stampede City, Alberta, CANADA - JAN 30, 2013
Bottle. Dark beer with a short lived Brown head. Bit of a light candy scent, bit of licorice, chocolate. Flavour is chocolate wafer cookies. A bit thin, a bit sour, a bit fruity and weird in the finish.

CapFlu (4010) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 24, 2013
(355ml bottle) Purchased at Liquor Plus Douglas - part of the Parallel mixed box. Pours a large brown head and a black body. Nose has hints of ash. Very smooth, some roastiness and filtered cold coffee. Good. --- reviewed on RateBeer.com

Solid creamy and sweet stout with a big roasted barley. Milk chocolate and intense roasted malt pair well and just a touch of lactose gives this a good sessionable sweetness. overall, nothing insanely crazy but a solid session stout.
