COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A traditional full-bodied stout brewed with lactose (milk sugar). The subtle sweetness imparted by the lactose balances the sharpness of the highly roasted grains which give this delicious beer its black color.

Surprisingly smooth malt structure. Not overly sweet, with ample hops and a clean choco-coffee finish.

Drank from bottle around camp fire. Was a nice milk stout that went well for the night.

Chocolaty and malty aroma and a very sweet aftertaste! This beer looks like most other stouts, not creamy stouts, but it looks more like a Coke or Pepsi.

Smooth, milky taste, chocolate, little aftertaste. Found this to be a well balanced stout overall

Thanks rbrazel. Clear dark brown pour. Roast cream cream stout with a medical astringency. Smooth though.

rbrazell (1013) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAR 1, 2013
Dark brown pour with a tiny white head. Nose is roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla touch and milky sweetness. Flavor isn't as sweet as expected, mostly roasted malts, bitter dusty chocolate with some vanilla. Not bad, expected more.

This is honestly one of my absolute favorite stouts, and being a heavy stout fan that’s saying quite a bit. It’s full in flavor with a rich coffee and nut aroma. The finish reminds me of the bitterness of dark chocolate. I’m in love.

zvikar (2068) - Ramat Gan, ISRAEL - FEB 13, 2013
Pours like diet coke with a thick creamy beige head, aroma of milk chocolate, roasted barley, caramel, strawberry juice, some woody sourness, flavor is smoky of burnt wood, vanilla, lots of nuts and almonds, sweet, coffee, medium to full bodied, nice

Originally was skeptical about the somewhat funky lactose aroma and taste, but once I became familiar with it, it was ok. Nice body and roastiness. Burnt taste lingers with some bitterness but nice sweetness balances the aftertaste nicely.
