Roasted malts add bold notes of cocoa and coffee to this delightfully dark ale, while delicate sweetness of milk sugar creates a smooth, velvety finish.

Can. Coffee, sour milk, chocolate malt, light ash, and hay aroma. Black with nice brown head. Moderately sweet coffee, chocolate malt, mildly sour lactic acid, and mildly bitter dry hay/ash flavor. Body a bit light. Just okay.

Decent milk stout, a tad thin and underdeveloped, giving up mild veins of milk chocolate and lactose sweetness but also hanging on to a metallic undertone that hinders the roasty goodness. Finishes unexpectedly dry, with mocha notes offsetting the sugars. Pours black-brown with a clingy tan head and modest lace. Nose seems somewhat weak, chocolate-tinted but some what cardboard-ish. Nice medium body and perky texture. Okay pint.

[1/30/16] Can sample at the Encomium bottle share, after RateBeer Best awards ceremony at Hyatt Vineyard Creek Hotel in Santa Rosa. Thanks everyone who shared bottles! Black with a tan head. Aroma of roast and some weird vegetal green character. Sweetish and slightly sourish roasty flavor, slightly vegetal. Medium-bodied.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 10/25/2015. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy tan head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, cream, toasted dark bread, nuttiness, light smoke/char, and herbal/roasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of roast/bready malt, lactose, and light herbal hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, cream, toasted dark bread, nuttiness, light smoke/char, and herbal/roasted earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/roasted bitterness; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, cream, toasted dark bread, nuttiness, light smoke/char, and herbal/roasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malt, lactose, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great roasted bitter/sweet balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky, and lightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent milk stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malt, lactose, and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
