4 oz. Draft. Aroma of milk chocolate, roast. Flavor was pretty good. Roasted malt backbone, chocolate and some soft coffee. Mouth feel and texture are correct for the style. Good.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thick, large, five to six centimetre tall tan and light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, alcohol, toffee, caramelised sugars, lactose and a big deal of fresh cream - very nice in the nose. Medium-bodied; Very rich roasted malt notes dominate with oatmeal and molasses along with a lighter pitted fruit and sweetness from toffee and a subdued but rich lactose bite towards the end. Aftertaste is rich and robust with the earthiness coming through from the malts with a lot of oatmeal, lactose and caramelised sugars throughout that give a nice balance to the deeper malts. Overall, a nice and pungent beer that hits the marks nicely, even as summer is in full swing up here, and the days barely get to 50 degF, this beer is nice and a welcome diversion from the IPAs that are still easy-to-find up here. I sampled this 65 cL bottle, purchased from Brown Jug in Fairbanks, Alaska on 24-June-2021 for US$5,99 sampled in my hotel room here down in Homer, Alaska on 28-June-2021 with my wife and three kids on vacation!

Tap at the tasting room. Pours dark brown with a beige/tan head. Aroma is chocolate. Med body. Flavor is dark toasty malt, chocolate, touch of lactose. An earthy/bitter/milky thing. Really tasty.
