Milk Stout with Coffee
For those who raise a brow when "a warm glass of milk before bed to help you sleep" is spoken, for the sheep have all been counted and the math does not add up. Your teddybear won't stop crying and the melatonin bottle; empty. The bedtime story went long and took a dark turn and we foolishly asked what filters through a broken dream-catcher. With the moon as your only witness, allow the hat man and your sleep paralysis demon to crack you a cold can of Night Milk.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown to black color with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which seemed to quickly dissipate and really didn't leave much lace if any at all
Aroma: thick milk chocolate with some nuttiness, then vanilla with coffee sweetness but not so much roasted notes of the coffee
Flavor: pretty much copies the aromas to a variety of different sweet notes. Finishes very cold-brew like with ample milk chocolate tones
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a pinch closer to medium? I think. Slightly sessionable; pretty darn smooth but still seems very much stout-like or maybe porter (depending on who you talk to)
Overall: nice aromas and flavors - appearance - well I was hoping for more and ya know - I'm contemplating here a little bit but it did seem more "porter-like"....hmmmm...

Poured from a can into a becher pint glass
Pours a deep dark brown almost black with a finger and a half of tan head that disapates rather quickly leaving no real trace
Aromas of nutty cold brew coffee, mild sweet chocolate, light caramel. Really have to work at this one, pretty subtle on the nose.
Taste of cold brew coffee, sweet mocha, light lactose.
Medium body with low carbonation, leans to a slightly sticky lightly bitter finish
Overall I wanted to like this, Its on the sweet side even for the style and the bitterness seems a bit heavy handed. It's awkwardly too sweet and too bitter.
