Cavie (1317), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Mar 8, 2009 Greeted with bold flavor that is unapologetic in it’s presence. Not bad, I would get it again. CharlesDarwin (1823), Point Judith, Rhode Island, USA Mar 4, 2009 12oz Bottle. Malted milk ball, sweet molasses, a pinch of black tea, and a backdrop of roast malt. Not so coffee-like. Pours a dark brown, with a clear reddish edge and a rim in creamy tan. Flavor is prickly and backed with distinct milky sweetness. Light silk. Interesting balance with the roast. Really solid balance between the lactose and the dryness of the roast character and alcohol. Great, long bristling woodsy finish, ripe with pine boards and dry leaves. Solid and clean. A good gummy hop juice and some mixed cookie graininess. Delightful. Borderline porterish. Otherwise, a fantastic dark beer. Thanks Joe and Piper! jhumphries69 (717), Tyrone, Georgia, USA Mar 1, 2009 Draft at Taco Mac. Pours black with ruby brown highlights and a thick, fine-bubbles, light tan head. The aroma is roasted grains with some malt sweetness and subtle chocolate milk. The flavor starts malty and lactose-sweet with subtle notes of chocolate cookie (not unlike on OREO cookie). At mid-palate, there is a lot of sugary, creamy, chocolatey sweetness. The finish is full with a coffee note. The mouthfeel is rich and velvety with nice bubbles and a full body. Overall, an enjoyable milk stout: very sweet and rich. BanjoDude (28), Kingsport, Tennessee, USA Feb 26, 2009 One of my favorite beers...pours almost pitch black with a medium tan head, no lacing. The roasted malts jump out of your glass and have an extremely pleasant aroma. Very balanced with a slight coffee/chocolate tone of taste. Just sweet enough and just bitter enough... noncaloric (602), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Feb 23, 2009 Updated: Mar 8, 2009Thanks ucusty. Pours dark brown, almost black. The modest beige head leaves no lace. Aroma is mostly anise, with a hint of smoke. Flavor is also roast-malt domiated, mostly anise, but with a strong cereal backbone, hot oatmeal, fresh grits. Some chocolate and smoke on the backbone. Despite being very smooth, somewhat thin bodied. BeerVirgin72 (778), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Feb 22, 2009 Had on tap at Stogies and Stouts. Delightful aromas of coffee and cream. Sweet flavors of of roasted malts with creamy coffee.
