Dark brown coloured body that is almost 90% opaque that shows as a dark black, almost oily slick with a nice one centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts, figs, earth, toffee, peat and a ton of tobacco and burnt coffee notes as well. Medium to Full-bodied; Rich lactose and roasted malt flavour with a good deal of grain and earth noticeable along with some subdued toffee and grain flavours and perhaps some oatmeal and other specialty grains. Aftertaste is more focused on the lactose, cream, milk and lighter flavours with a good sweetness and a dose of the malts hitting hard near the very end. Overall, a nice and interesting beer with a lot of flavours at first that show some more even in the dying stages of the beer with a bit of cream and toffee as well as the grains, lactose and coffee as well. Good to try and one of their beers that is worth sampling and perhaps going out of the way for, especially if you like lactose-finished products. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 24-February-2018 for US$2,50 sampled in my hotel room a day later on 25-February-2018.

Nitro at N4, Whole Foods Williamsburg. Opaque brown-black. Creamy head with heavy lace. Leans sweet, roasty, some lactose. More bitter than sweet, but pretty balanced. Super smooth and creamy on the nitro. Pretty tasty stuff.

Beer Boutique, Brooklyn: pours blackish with a beige head. Aroma is coffee in a light way and some light chocolate and malt. Taste is bodega coffee with plenty of cream and not too much sugar. But it is also a beer.
