Lancaster Milk Stout

Brewed by Lancaster Brewing Co.
Style: Sweet Stout
Lancaster, Pennsylvania USA

Starts with a deep robust roasted coffe nose. Very good start. Quite smooth, but that may be due to a thinner body. Again the initial flavor starts well then fades to much ado about not all that. Could be a notch up at the finish. Still solid & pleasing.

Draft at beer bar roughly across street from brewpub in ?Ellicot City, Md? Good and malty sweet and roasty and tasty but I admit I was getting to my capacity in beer for the eve (at least briefly) at that time. Cohorts seemed to think it was okay too.

Bottle courtesy of kramer17801. Black, with brown highlights, minimal tan head, fades to ring reaaly quick. Aroma very muted, faint coffee with roasted grain. Flavor also very subdued. Mostly roasted grain with faint coffee and chocolate. Tad thin on the palate. Just average altogether.

Bottle Pours a clear dark black. Small light tan head and spotty lacing. Sweet dark roasted aromas. Some chocolate as well. Flavors are similar, low bitterness. Smooth soft but a bit thin feel.

A nice sweet-stout. Thin mouthfeel, but the milkyness in the texture provides something different that was oddly suprising and pleasant. Roasty flavors that left a sweet taste behind. Not too bad at all.

Pours out black with a small and creamy brown head. Nice café mocha aroma with a shot of vanilla that carried over to the flavor. Weakness was in the mouthfeel. Could have had more body and creaminess. Otherwise, this was a satisfying sweet stout.

12oz. Weak tan head on a dark brown viscous brew. The nose is brownies, burnt marshmallows, and dark toast. I’m not much for the milky texture of this beer and the hint of sweetness left behind on the finish. I prefer a milk stout with a little more of a dry approach to the malt but this one is all around creamy. It becomes somewhat cloying by the end of the bottle.

Interesting brew. Lots of cobwebs and ashtray in the aroma. Very dark pour with a quickly disapearing, but bountiful, tan head. Flavor is kind of discombobulated. There is a lot of ashtray and roasted malts, lingering bitter coffee, plus a dollop of sweet stout lactose sugar. If they got rid of the sweetness this would be a great beer, but to me, it is too crowded.
