Lancaster Milk Stout

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

Excellent body with nuances of chocolate, espresso & spice balanced by subtle sweetness and a lingering finish

This dark smooth brew, with a smooth silky looking white foam has hint of chocolate, milk , and a bit of toffee in its smell. The taste is smooth with tastes of milk and toffee, while the qualities of a stout are not very noticable this milk stout offers a relax sweet treat.

I given this one high marks because it really is that good from the get go as it goes into your mouth and rolls over the tastebuds and slides down the throat into the stomach and ultimately into your brain cells ! Yummmmmmmmmm! A gentle soft sweetness and opaque espresso like color even when held to sunlight . I wish more stouts were like this one ... I mean,... this is another type of stout than is a Guinness or a Murphy's but... this is sooo sooo much better than they overall I promise you . This is a new-world stout, one that leads the way to better drinking better tasting stout . Now, if I could just get a full case of it... only was able to get 6 out of the Lancaster sampler ... Cheers Quaff On !

very unique and nicely brewed beer. It has depth w/out being overbearing. Great with a meal or AS a meal. one of the most lovely milk stouts I’ve tried to date.

I’ve had this brew both on draught and bottled. Dark (almost black) in color, with a highly contrasting white head. Creamy in texture, with flavors of coffee and chocolate. Extremely satisfying.

as a resident of Pennsylvania I take pride in the great brewers of this state, which include such greats as Victory and Troegs. I hope to see more such creations from this less recognized PA brewery. this Sweet Stout is brewed with lactose and is free of preservatives as the label assures you. upon opening i notice a distinct dark roasted coffee bean aroma. pours fairly thick, dark brown to black. generous tan/brown head, thick with fluffy, silky formations, lumps of fluff if you will. unique in appearance. bonus. flavor to match the aroma, with a bittersweet/sour aftertaste courtesy of the lactose. scores very high for uniqueness, again. in the palate it could be a little thicker, but the perfect constistency and amount of carbonation makes up for this after a second in the mouth. overall an excellent stout. i eagerly anticipate more such quality brews from Lancaster.

One of my favorite sweet stouts. This one is soooooo smooth, creamy and dark. Love it!

RERATE 5/2004 - I've been looking for this for years, and I finally found it at the local liquor store. Aroma is fantastic - like coffee ice cream on steroids. Pours and looks great. Has an oily feel to it, more like a porter than a stout. That sweet burnt milk flavor underlines the coffee, somewhat hoppy flavor. Finish is consistent with the start. Still a great beer.
