Lancaster Milk Stout

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

Roast and chocolate come through in this beer. Poured a dark brown producing a creamy tan head. Very tasty with a good finish to it.

Black body with a tan head. Aroma promises heavily roasted coffee beans and dark chocolate, and the flavor profile delivers. Creamy milk chocolate backed up with espresso and roasted malt. Body is thick, moderately creamy, and chewy, Nice.

in the nose is a little bit of a burnt roast smell along with the smell of malt. Pours out dark with a fairly rich tan head. Fairly sudsy There is a definite burnt taste to the brew which separates it from other stouts I have had. It has the same sweet taste that burnt bacon has, minus the unsavory burnt bacon flavor. The head lingers nicely as I finish the beer. A fairly excellent stout. cute cow.

Bottle courtesy of axilla. Pours a dark brown color with a small, creamy tan head. nose is a stagnant roastyness, day old coffee type. Taste is light, kind watery, hints of chocolate and coffee, with a slight dryness to the end., a bit of dry roastiness.

Pours black with absolutely no head. I even poured extra vigorously. Aroma of roasted malts and sweet chocolate. The sweet chocolate becomes semi-sweet and then bitter in the mouth. Roasted malts back the transition nicely. There is a little of the sourness found in dry stouts, and it finishes quite dry. Pretty good.

12 oz bottle: Pours very black with brownish 1/2 inch head. I got a vanilla smell from it, although I didn’t chill the bottle quite long enough. Taste was nice, kind of like burnt coffee. Finish was nice, with a little chocolate aftertaste that didn’t last long. It was a little sweet in taste but not much, it did go down creamy and smooth. Nice Stout!

EDIT: After trying 2 other milk stouts I have re-rated this brew.

Bottle. Very dark brown, almost black, with brown head that fades quickly. When cold, it smells a lot like chocolate milk, with some roasted malt and coffee notes behind that. As it warms, the aromas are a nice blend of general roasted notes with hints of some sweet ness and sourness. Flavor and mouthfeel is a bit heavier than expected: oily bitter chocolate, faint harsh roasted malt, and porter-like sweetness all blending nicely into a medium, though somewhat watery, finish. A nice beer, but due to the depth of heavy/dark flavors, I want it to have a bulkier body, like an imperial.

Deep dark brown, nearly black, with a small head. Smell of roasted, toasted malts. Flavor is slightly sweet, but not overly. Losta burnt malts in the mouth too. Tasty.
