| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 28, 2009 Thanks to whomever it was in the STL group that shared this one. Pours very dark with a deep tan head. The aroma has milk, milk chocolate, smooth roasted malt and sweetness. Medium light body that’s very smooth and has light carbonation. The flavor starts with sweetness, milk chocolate, lactic acid and very smooth roastiness. The finish gets sweeter, but it is smooth and not cloying. Very nice easy drinking stout. beersearcher (226), Glendale, California, USA

Black body with a small khaki head that fades. 3+ Aroma is pleasant, light roast, dark malt is milder than expected. 7+ Flavour is similarly much less assertive than I anticipated but rich. Decent malt character, lactose? - in a good way - very light bitterness in the finish. 8+ Alcohol is not at all noticeable. Smooth average to medium bodied palate. 3+ Pretty solid stout, very drinkable. Bottle from Liquor Stop, Indiana xmarcnolanx (792), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA
