Lancaster Milk Stout

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

Thanks Whaleman: This pours a lighter black with ruby highlights and a light tan head. Aroma is of caramel and milk chocolate with a soft nuttiness. The flavor is soft with very little hops to speak of. The malts are there but restrained with some heavy drying chocolate. The body is light for the style, but firm with a decisive bitter finish.

12 oz bottle received in a trade with pjk33 - Thanks Pat! - Pours black with a nice creamy tan head that is about 1/2 inch high. Aroma is of roasted malts and sweet milk chocolate. Flavor is quite roasty as well. Some bittersweet chocolate as well. And a little milk chocolate comes in in the background. This is much drier than I expected for a sweet stout. The palate is actually creamy yet it finishes with a dry aftertaste like a dry stout. I found this tasty though. This is medium bodied. A little lighter than other stouts I’ve had.. Very drinkable and my son loved the cow on the bottle too!

Tastes like a typical stout, but it was on tap and I’ve had better stouts come out of a can. There’s absolutely nothing interesting about this beer; it is very bland, and not smooth enough to compensate.

Thanks to Slob for this one. Sharp burnt coffee aroma. Unexpected from a sweet stout. Black with frothy white head. Roasty and somewhat sour which was odd. it doesn’t look or feel infected so I assume this is the beer as the brewer intended. Thin palate and one dimensional.

[draft at Doc Holliday’s - New Cumberland, PA] I was definitely looking forward to this near the end of my dinner. It looked very nice. Dark black color with a puffy brown head. The smell was slightly metallic with hints of sour milk and roasted malts. The taste was a little odd however. Rather sour and metallic milky taste with a faint touch of roasted malts at the end. Very watery for a stout. Maybe a bad keg, but I’m not sure. I’ll try it again, but probably out of a bottle next time.

Very impressive creamy milk stout. This beer mellowed in the glass nicely, for at first was a bit like sour milk -- too much. However it ended going nicely with some wings and calamari (?) at the bar. Would definitely have again, but doubt I’d go too far out the way.

12oz. bottle. Black with a small tan head. Somewhat vinous aroma of dark roasted malts and chocolate. Flavor was mildly sour, with roasted malt and dark chocolate the dominant flavors.

Very nice taste, hints of coffee and chocolate. Deep dark color. Not overpowering
