A: The pour is a dark brown color with some nice ruby red highlights and a thin tan head.
S: The nose is highly chocolatey with some nice roast malt character. Not a lot going on, but quite nice.
T: This beer really lives up to its name: there’s tons of sweet, milk chocolate along with some additional milk on top of that. There’s a light roastiness, but the chocolate is really front and center.
M: The beer is smooth on the tongue with a medium body, but perhaps a bit thin on the body.
D: This was a fantastic beer. While it was sweet, it was not in the sugary, syrupy sense. A real easy drinking sweet stout.

3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled. Poured translucent coppery-brown with a short-lived cap of beige head. The aroma was just decadent.. sweet lightly-roasted chocolates, vanilla beans, and a touch of honey at the core.. the chocolate fought with the vanilla for dominance, but I think the vanilla won.. like cake in a glass. The flavor found the same kind of stuff.. semi-sweet chocolates and vanilla beans at the core with milk chocolate sweetness laced throughout.. oaky tartness, vanilla, and dry-roasted, sweeter chocolates on the finish. Medium-bodied and somehow dry despite the sweetness on the palate.. moderate carbonation.. very tasty, but I wish I could’ve pulled in some of the Simcoe.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
355mL courtesy of TheEpeeist. Poured a near pitch black with a small, beige head that left very nice lacing on the snifter. Nose at very is buttery bourbon, vanilla, milk chocolate, sweet dark fruits. Taste is bitter, lots of Kola nut, milk chocolate, slight vanilla, a little bit chalky in the body. Pretty ashy and roasty for a sweet stout. The finish shows that the beer is quite thin overall but has a buttery, pretty oily palate.
