3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Again, really smooth and creamy. Lactose addition adds additional creaminess. Heavy chocolate. Moderately sweet, but not overpowering.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Tap flight at the brewery. Near black pour with purple hue. Light brown foam head. Aroma is very chocolaty from a distance and up close also reveals marshmallow and toasted marshmallow. Taste is semi sweet chocolate syrup, vanilla bean, and dark chocolate cream with a subtle burst of hops at the end to balance out the sweetness and round out the bitterness. Velvety mouthfeel. No detectable ABV. Delicious.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Amazing, super silki and smooth, milky, chocolate, super well balanced. Very well done.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
8.5, very smooth, very sweet and milky. Lots of chocolate, sweet, a little bit of a cacao roughness. Musty and bright
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A deep dark stout with a thin brown head. In aroma, lots of Nestle quick chocolate with sweet cherries, alcohol warmth. In mouth, a sweet chocolate bar with light fruity notes, malt balls, nice and smooth. On tap at brewpub, Dec. 8 2012.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
On draft at the brewery, poured a dark black color with aromas of chocolate, roast, lactose, light earth, and a touch of sweetness. Flavors are the same, light on the palate for a stout, wish it was a little thicker, but a very nice stout over all. Pretty much a spot on chocolate milk.
