Bottle from Total Wine, Sterling VA. Dark brown with next to no head. Sweetish throughout, with some prune and touch of chocolate. Solid, if unexciting, drinking.

Sample glass at tasting.
Thanks Matt.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy fairly dark brown to black color with a thin layer of white foaminess to the head.
The smell had a nice roasty to sweet blend of chocolate to coffee.
The taste was mainly sweet with an ample amount of roasty sweet coffee to chocolate intermingling between. There’s a slight sweet milky chocolate aftertaste leading to a sweet sticky finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sipping quality about it. There’s a nice carbonation to the beer.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good sweet stout that I would have again.

Nice! Very bitter and toasty. Pours black with great head and lacing. Mocha head. Quite a bitter finish and lactose adds texture but not a huge element to aroma. Bottle.

Pours deep brown into a shaker. Mocha head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Ozone and chocolate aromas. Sweet and smooth with chocolate and espresso front to back turning dry with an earthy bitter finish.

A little too bland.

Drought at International Great Beer Expo (Meadowlands). Dark brown, spongy tan head, roasted malt aroma, slightly bitter coffee taste, long finish. Not as sweet as you’d expect from a milk stout.
