Milk sugar in your stout is like cream in your coffee. Just enough sweetness to keep the dark roast in check. Rich and robust, our classic Milk Stout exhibits notes of dark chocolate, freshly brewed coffee, caramelized sugar and roasted malt.

On tap at Tap House. Black color with big beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee. Taste is more coffee and roasted malts, nice vanilla sweetness. Amazingly full taste for this ABV for a Stout. Excellent. 8/4/8/4/16 Nitro version bottle, poured vigorously. Still an excellent Milk Stout with a great mouthfeel, great milk chocolate and coffee flavours, sweet without being artificially so. Wonderful. 8/5/8/4/16.

Tap (Hopfenreich, Berlin). Barwa czarna z rubinowymi refleksami pod swiatlo, piana w kolorze jasno bezowej, srednio obfita ale bardzo trwala. W aromacie glownie kawa z subtelna, slodka nuta laktozy w tle. Leciutka kawowa palonosc w smaku z wyrazna slodka nuta laktozy w kontrze. Piwo bardzo lekkie i gladkie w odczuciu, bardzo pijalne, lekko slodkawe ale bez efektu ulepku, sesyjne jednym slowem.

Svart med fingerhøyt lys brunt skum. Lukter godteri, melkesjokolade, kaffe og røde frukter. Middels fylde. Kort. Kakaobønner i smak, lett bitterhet. En del sødme mot melkesjokolade.

Bottle. Appearance- black, opaque, light brown tinges at the base, a 1-2 finger light brown creamy head, leaves some lacing. Aroma- creamy coffee, milky sweetness, toast, caramel, milk chocolate, good hop undertones. Taste- lovely creamy sweetness in the mouthfeel, smooth and a bit silky, roast malt, lots of coffee, milk chocolate, slight smokiness. Really nice.

Nitro version. Pours black, beautiful and persistent foamy head. Aroma has some soft roast, milky. Taste is also silky and you can feel the sweetish nitro working. Overall quite well done although not too special or spectacular.

Another American classic I had yet to taste, some kind of hybrid between classic oatmeal stout and classic milk stout, from Colorado. Loose and irregular yet creamy, deep yellowish beige head, retaining well around the edges and leaving a tan veil over the beer; colour is a very dark mahogany brown, approaching black but still translucid around the edges. Aroma has notable smokiness at first, smoked herring even and reminding me more of a smoked porter than a milk stout; this smoky accent fades away in warming up, when the bouquet becomes notably sweeter, via impressions of walnuts, wet leather, black peppercorns, coffee grounds, cigar ashes, to a lot of dark chocolate gaining strength, dried leaves, caramel candy, dried stonefruit, raisins and candied dates. Dryish and actually fairly neutral onset, some restrained dried fruit sweetness, mineral accents, soft carbo as expected and creamy mouthfeel due to the lactose but still a relatively thin body for a 6% ABV stout; umami flavours more prevalent after the first sip, very light sourish touch; rounded, nutty and toasted maltiness and more chocolatey roasted bitterness in the end, but everything remains gentle and soft. The smoky accent from the aroma, where it seems to fade away after a while, returns retronasally but only faintly so. Finish is juicy and malty, with the dark chocolate bitterness lingering on the root of the tongue, along with a touch of leafy hops, resulting in a bittersweet ending. This is a fine stout, but I must admit I expected more creaminess and a thicker lactose flavour. Glad I tasted this.
