Castle Milk Stout has a thick texture, strong flavour and a full, satisfying and complex taste, with a hint of caramel. Dark roasted malt provides its distinctive dark colouring, and the creamy, smooth head comes from a special yeast.

Overall It’s not bad, but it doesn’t go far beyond that. Taste doesn’t have much depth to it for a stout, but feels thick on the tongue at least. Had in a 355ml can in Nha Trang, Vietnam

33cl bottle pours a opaque black with a thick, creamy, beige head. Nose is rather mild, a little malt, some toasted bread, some light chocolate. Flavor is pretty nice, roasted barley, chocolate, light coffee, sweet maltiness, some dark toast, grainy. Full bodied, malty, dry finish. I liked this more than the Guinnes Foreign Extra. This isn’t as thick, it’s sweet but not cloying and it’s got a good barley flavor. No complaints.

Bottle at the first German local RateBeer tasting at Wasaba in Idar-Oberstein. Courtesy of Bierkrug - thanks! Clear dark brown, huge beige head. Aroma is medicinal and metallic. Taste is sweet and thin.Earlier Rating: 3/21/2011 Total Score: 2.4Bottle at a grocery store in Dar es Salaam, brewed by Tanzania Breweries. Clear ruby brown, medium thick brown head. Aroma of shoe polish. Taste is watery milk chocolate, burnt carbon. Sort of not fair, because we shared a bottle of Crooked Line Labyrinth Black Ale just before trying this one. Different universe.

Hey, my first S. Africa rating, thanks Sebastian. Pours mahogany with thin tan head. The aroma is somewhat assertive with rich dark fruit like prunes and plums to go along with black licorice and hints of dark malt roastiness. The taste is neutral to start and then picking up a mix of sweet dark fruitiness, a touch of caramel and a mild level of dark roasted malts.

33cl bottle in Ghana. This one is brewed in Ghana by Accra Brewery under SAB license. pours brown, creamy head. aroma and flavors, caramel malts, creamy lactose and light chocolate, nutty palate with a lactic finish. Nice creamy body with hints of mocha. Light mouthfeel with hints of bitterness and caramel in the finish. Definitely the best beer to have in Ghana along with the Ghanaian Guinness. Depending of how cold the bottle is, the lactic touch can often come as a bit off.
