SKA Steel Toe Stout (Milk Stout)

Brewed by SKA Brewing
Style: Sweet Stout
Durango, Colorado USA

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear dark brown with a small fizzy rapidly disappearing beige head. The aroma is roasted with a hint of burnt malt. The flavor is mildly sweet, along with the roasted character from the nose. There is the faintest hint of coffee. A touch on the thin side, smooth drinking. Nothing I would seek out in the future.

Pours a dark thick black with no head. Smells like sweet cream with some roasted nuts. Flavor is of cream and malt...a bit too sweet for my tastes. Palate is nice a creamy. Overall an okay session sweet stout.

Bottled. 3rd week of Dec.<P>Beer is very dark, nearly opaque brown. Head is moderate, light tan, frothy, quickly and mostly diminishing.<P>The aroma is malty with moderate notes of chocolate milk, light note of roasted grain, cookie; Hoppy with a trace of resinous herb; Yeasty with a light/moderate note of basement, light piquant note of dough.<P>The flavor is moderately/heavily sweet, moderately acidic (reminiscent of cola), trace bitter with a long, lightly astringent, moderately sweet, lightly acidic finish. Blechy dank aftertaste. <P>The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is almost fizzy.<P>Very sweet. Between the sweetness, the acidity and the carbonation I’m very much reminded of cola. Find the yeast note kind of stinky and off-putting.

Bottled. Dark brown pour with a big brown/grey head. Aroma is sour milk, milk chocolate and a little alcohol. Flavour is more chocolate, a little coffee and a little smoke. Thin mouthfeel and simple palate though. Enjoyable.

Deep black stout with ruby ridges. Small tan head does not linger much but decent lacing. Aroma of burnt carmel and roasted nuts. Somewhat creamy as it is a milk stout. I guess I like them more dry but it is try to style. Flavor is sweet and roasted biscuit. A little thin on the palate.

22oz bottle(SKA Milk Stout)-A nice black body with a nice head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, and sweetness. Taste of the same with a nice creamy taste. A nice tasting sweet stout,

Pours coal black with a small head.The nose was of coffee and chocolate.Mouthfeel was creamy and coffee like.Finished off creamy with some bitterness.

Bottle from no idea where. Pour was pitch black, very small initial head, weak lacing, steady retention of a thin ring around the edges. The aroma was milky, chocolate. Flavor was chalky milk chocolate, very faint vinous notes with higher temperatures. Not sticky sweet, faint oxidation (in a not bad way, though), but a tad watery in the flavor department. Mouthfeel was moderate for th estyle, flat.
