22 oz bomber into a tulip glass. Purchased from the brewery back in early June, 2012. A - Dark black body, impressive three finger high light mocha head. Solid lacing and retention. Beer settles down to a thin cap with thick edging. S - Milk chocolate, coffee, roasty malts, light vanilla and a touch of lactic sugar sweetness. T - Sweet with notes of milk chocolate and vanilla. Finishes lightly bitter with roasty malts and some of that distinctive sweet stout twang. Mouth feel leaves a lot to be desired. Somewhat on the thin side. O - Pretty average milk stout. Still damn tasty and highly drinkable.

Belle couleur noire avec un col beige crémeux. Une odeur sucrée; de mélasse, suivi par des effluves de céréales, de pain russe ou encore de pain grillé se rendent délicatement au nez. Un goût, aussi, sucré, houblonné, acidulé rendant le tout très doux et agréable en bouche, nous laissant sur une note crémeuse.

Aroma: Roasted malts, some sourness and chocolate

Nice and easy drinking.

Draft at brewery, pretty dark pour, light mouthfeel. Medium roastiness in both flavor and aroma. Flavor is a little light, as is aroma. Decent

(Draught) clear ruby brown with soapy tan bubbles. Nose of milk chocolate, toasty coffee, sweet toffee. Taste of brown sugar, caramel and coffee. Thin body and mildly creamy finish.

Pours mahogany-tinged black into a shaker. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface. Chocolate and espresso aromas. Soft and thin with mocha from front to back. Creamy chocolate finish.

On tap. Pours very dark brown with a small tan head. Sweet chocolate and coffee aroma with nice roast. The flavor has chocolate and roasted malts, cold coffee, and a lot of lactose sweetness. Pretty tasty if a little sweet. A little too thin and watery on the palate. Average carbonation. Overall this is a solid example of the style, if a little on the weaker side.

On tap at the brewpub on 05/15/2010. Dark black body with a small creamy tan head. Sweet roast and chocolate aroma. Sweet roast, chocolate and a bit of lactose flavor. Medium light body with moderately low carbonation.

On tap, nitro, body is a dark brown that appears mostly black, Head and aromas of raw almonds or some type of nut. Flavors of sweet condensed milk, cane sugar, and a bit of dry sourdough bread. I am not a stout expert but I feel this would not disappoint for a States made stout.

Pour was dark, single finger head and some lacing. Sweet chocolate aroma. Flavor was chcocolate, roast with only a hint of milk and none of that overly sour lactic flavor that I hate. Smooth as silk. I’m a fan.
