Papago Elsies Irish Cream Stout

Brewed by Oak Creek Brewing Co.
Style: Sweet Stout
Sedona, Arizona USA

Thanks to Beoir for hauling this one back for everyone. Black color with a thin head. Aroma of lactose and coffee. Milky and chocolate flavors up front and a pinch of coffee. Something a little like sourness or vinegar is towards the end, almost like BBQ sauce, but not in a bad way.

Draft at Papago. Poured an opaque black color with a tan head. Smelled of coffee, butterscotch, vanilla, and cream. Light to medium bodied. The lactose sweetness was tempered quite a bit by a hefty roasty bitterness. Tasted predominantly of coffee and butterscotch. A bit too much going on here, but not too bad.

Thanks to Beoir for sharing. Lots of lactose in this sweet stout. Black in color and low carbonation. Bitter chocolate, and a little smoke. Better than many of the style, the smoke is a good addition.

Tap at Papago. Dark brown, creamy light brown head. Sweet coffee aroma with chocolate, light roast and the irish cream sweetness. Flavor is sweet and rich. Coffee notes are wonderful and the hints of chocolate and irish cream are sublime. Nice damn beer.

Cask @ Ppaago. Good chocolate dry coco mix aroma. Black body with tan head. Beer had a creamy milk texture to it along with some chocolate notes. Easy on the palate good beer.

On tap at O’brien’s (labeled at milk stout). Pours with a black body topped by a thin, brown head with little lacing. It’s slightly sweet with cream and roasted coffee notes and a touch of sourness. Medium to full bodied, creamy in texture and smooth.

On tap at Liar’s Club. Black with a creamy tan head. Coffee and chocolate aroma with a sweet roasty note. Caramel, roasty chocolate taste with a creamy finish.

Many thanks to Beoir for this one. Black color with miniscule head. Lactose and coffee on the nose. Huge coffee flavor with some smoke and chocolate in there. A lactic sourness towards the end, but very good.
