Not your typical “Jelly of the Month Club” beer. Dark roasted malt and bittersweet cocoa and coffee flavor and aroma burst from this pitch black milk stout. The full body and sweetness are derived from the addition of lactose (aka milk sugar) which is not fermentable by beer yeast. A healthy dose of English Kent Goldings hops provides a counterpoint to this ale’s rich and complex maltiness.

Bottle. Deep dark brown with a tan head. The coffee comes through in both the taste and aroma.

On tap. Pours an opaque dark brown, almost black with a small, creamy, short lived, beige head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, caramel and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, lactose, chocolate, caramel, raisin and coffee in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium to full body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Delicious and enjoyable.

16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a pitch black color with a huge tan head (95% foam) and annoyingly excellent retention. This is gonna take a while. Very good lacing. Very dark roasted malt aroma with some coffee too. The taste follows the nose. Charred malt flavor dominates with some coffee notes in the finish. Mildly sweet, and some dark bittering chocolate. Medium-heavy body. Semi-creamy mouthfeel. The 7.0% ABV is almost completely hidden. Good balanced stout.

Can at a tasting with the boys. Quite full body, oily texture. Medim carbonation. Moderate deep coffeeish roast, also moderate lactose. Also moderately warming in the finish, why? Idk, but it is not exactly easy drinking. Quite good, but slightly too harsh for what it is.
