May 2, 2007 Bottle, courtesy Shag/Clash. Poured a mahoganey brown, not as dark as the porter I had right before this one. Normal off-white to tannish head, lacing was decent, nothing spectacular for the style, though. The aroma was coffee-choco notes, probably a little more of roasted coffee than the chocolate. The flavor followed suit along with a cherry type flavor. Finished sweet, but not as sweet as the Porter (odd, given this was the "sweet" stout). Lacto notes practically lost. A decent brew, a little thin for what I was expecting. Thanks, Matt!

May 2, 2007 Bottle from Turd. Very creamy coffee aroma is nice. Black body with a thin head. Full palate for a sweet. Taste matches the aroma and this is very easy to drink.

Apr 20, 2007 Vanilla and chocolate on the nose. Pours dark brown/black with a thick tan head. Coffee upfront with a lot of chocolate and vanilla, a lot more fuller flaovor than some milk stouts. Thick on the palate. Great milk stout.

Apr 19, 2007 (Bottle (best by 5/07) via trade with <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=36295 target=blank>Ty5592, thanks Ty!) A little messy but pretty good...Very dark cola brown with three fingers of creamy, slightly rocky khaki head. Sweet aroma of coffee roast, dark and milk chocolate. Mouthfeel fairly smooth but on the thin side. Also quite well-carbonated, almost like soda. Scant lacing. Flavor is rich and bitter coffee and chocolate. Also a cherry-like or dark fruit taste slips in, seems out of place. Needs a little meatier texture and less carbonation IMO.

Apr 17, 2007 12oz, enjoy by 05/07 courtesy of BleacherBum, thanks Ryan. Pours a deep brown with a three finger creamy brown head with pretty good retention. Aroma of roasted malts, sweet milk chocolate, a little brown sugar, and minimal grain. Flavor is actually quite roasty with a moderate amount of acidity, anise, some milk chocolatey sweetness, and a roasted grain finish. Pretty highly carbonated with a lighter body than I’d have liked. A solid effort.
