Sample at the Columbus taproom during the Platform Columbus 2-Year Anniversary Celebration on 12/29/2018. Brown-black pour with a medium khaki head that diminishes gradually to a dense film. Small patches of lace. Caramel, malt and chocolate in the nose. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt, chocolate and salty caramel. The finish is sweet with a caramel malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

This can is sweet and; sweet it is. Big heavy sweet milk and sweet dark chocolate blast. It has an amazing head BTW! Almost a 5 for looks but not quite there in appearance. Rolling display in a clear glass Big and black, nicely big. Smells like a malted shake. Big sweet blast int he face, kick ass sweet stout, like a dark bittersweet baker's chocolate mess. Sweet, trying to get nasty, but never quite gits thar. Yes, caramel lurking in the background, just coming out for a sucker punch periodically. Smooth easy stout for a beer 1st timer.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 11/26/2018. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1 finger dense and rocky khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel candy, toffee, vanilla, cream, brown sugar, sea salt, nuts, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light notes of molasses, licorice, dark fruit, coffee, smoke, herbal, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, caramel candy, lactose, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with great strength. Taste of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel candy, toffee, vanilla, cream, brown sugar, sea salt, nuts, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light notes of molasses, licorice, dark fruit, coffee, smoke, herbal, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal hop and roasted bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel candy, toffee, vanilla, cream, brown sugar, sea salt, nuts, toasted dark/brown bread, molasses, coffee, smoke, herbal, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, caramel candy, lactose, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a solid roast/hop bitter/sweet balance, and no cloying/acrid flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/velvety/bready, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.1%. Overall this is an outstanding flavored milk stout. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, caramel candy, lactose, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter finish. Awesome soft feel, not overly roasty. Pretty much perfectly balanced between rich malt complexity, Malley's caramel candies, and lactose flavors; with just enough earthy hops to balance lingering sweetness. Nice complementing salt notes. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. Really nailed this one, not overdone on any aspect.
