11.2 oz bottle.
Dark mahogany with a small tanish head.
Aroma is kind of boozy for something this low in alc. Chocolate, toffee, milk.
Flavor is prunes, coffee and sour milk.
Finish is sour and slightly acidic.

This is a weird one. Foam goes quickly. Nice dark chestnut color for a stout. Flavor grows on you. Hints of roasted coffee, caramel , chocolate and sour milk. It definitely stands on its own.

Poured a drak black with a grayish tan head that had good lacing. I have never been a fan of milk stouts and this one did little to convert me. One of my first impressions what that of sarsparilla. A dry gritty roast flavor, mostly chocolate, with a very identifiable lactose finish. Some hop bitterness tries to help salvage this beer. Not recommended.

12oz bottle pours black with a short tan head that left quickly. Aromas of roasted malt, slight chocolate, and a little bit of sour milk. Flavor is quite roasty wtih some chocolate, and mild lactose notes. Somewhat watery on the palate with a lingering sweet aftertaste. Lots of cocoa on the finish. Just doesn’t hang with the great sweet stouts unfortunately..

Pours a dark brown with a huge brown head of considerable duration and lacing. The aroma is very sweet with a slight sour element. The flavor is mild with a sweetness dominating the palate but accompanied by a slight acidicness.

Bottle. Pitch pour with a dark brown head, rocky and lacing. Smells of sweet candy sugar and chocolate, rather like a malted milk shake or whoppers. Also some light roast and woodiness. Taste is light and simplistic, mostly malt. A little milk, very little chocolate, and a little more roast. Light sourness after a while, and the throat remembers it as it would a glass of milk (less phlegm, though). Watery light body, at least this is rather dry. Goes down nice and easy, pretty decent for a chug...
