dmschefke (371), Eastpointe, Michigan, USA Apr 27, 2009 Pours a pitch black with thin off-white head. Aroma of coffee, vanilla, roasted malt, and cream. Flavor is quite interesting, but finishes with an acidic taste that just isn’t my style. ksurkin (356), Norfolk, Virginia, USA Apr 26, 2009 12oz bottle from total wine in greenville. pours a thin, very dark brown, with a whispy light tan head. aroma is very nice with aromas of roast coffee, vanilla coffee-mate, cinnamon, and roasted nuts. flavor was a delicious and a pleasant surprise with big roasted coffee and cream with subtle notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and oatmeal. mouthfeel was very smooth, slightly thin for a stout, with low carbonation and a bitter coffee finish with a hint of lactose sugar sweetness. overall, a very enjoyable sweet stout. xs2500 (90), Mississippi, USA Apr 26, 2009 Pours dark with a thick tan head, decent flavor, but the scent of coffee lingers with every sip. As far as milk stouts go this ones is my lower half of my list. Adam77 (407), Eastampton, New Jersey, USA Apr 15, 2009 Poured brown with a white head. Aroma of chocolate. Light thin body. Like milk. Some chocolate and coffee. Slugable. sebletitje (1880), Tampa, Florida, USA Apr 3, 2009 pours black with light mocha head.
Aroma roasted malts, light lactose nose and thin chocolate touch with some hops.
Taste, malty, coffee, roasted malts and light lactose as well as possible dark fruits.
A fine sweet stout, up there with Left Hand’s Milk stout. robertjm (399), El Cerrito, California, USA Apr 3, 2009 (trade with Suttree). Aroma is most definately on the malty side. Perhaps even a little phenolic. Pours smallish head which collapses into the glass fairly quickly. Nice sweet stout with a ever so slight sourness at the end. Average thickness in body. Haven’t had a true milk stout in a long time! MullMan (1080), Bloomfield, New Jersey, USA Mar 30, 2009 bottle, Middleton Plantation Estate restaurant. dark brown almost blackish body, tall dark tan rocky head. aroma is dark roasted malt, beef jerkey, some lactose and baking chocolate. flavor is like the aroma, roasted oaty malt, smoked meat, and milk lactose. decent balance. grandridge (222), Port Clinton, Ohio, USA Mar 29, 2009 Pours brownish black with a gigantic rocky head. Aroma is not unlike a english stout. Aroma is slightly lactic sour milk, some roast. Mouthfeel is medium to light with a nice cream feel with some good unexpected carbonation. Flavors are chocolate, roast and smoke the lactose is a little more subdued than I expected (good thing) and brings a nice balance to the brew. This is a solid milk stout highly drinkable and recommended.
