500 mL bottle poured. Much thanks to Greg for sending this bottle over. A near black pour with a swirling tan cream head. A chocolate milk stout that has a chocolate milk aroma, and tastes like chocolate milk. Safe to say they nailed what they were going for. Chocolate heavy aroma but has a metallic aroma to it as well. Caramel, rich milk chocolate flavor. Sweet, but not too sweet. Just barely an impression of espresso. Creamy chocolate is the main thing to point out here. Flavorful. Very fun. Good sweet stout overall.

Bottle. Lactic acid, chocolate malt, and hay aroma. Black with large brown head. Moderately sweet chocolate, light malt, mildly sour lactic acid, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Body a bit light. Very disappointing.

Bottle: Black, with a thick, dark tan head. Cocoa, milk aroma. Sweet, slightly tangy chocolate malt, milk chocolate taste. Slightly acidic feeling....a bit thin, but OK.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a medium brown head. A big sweet cocoa milky nose. The flavor is big sweet dry cocoa, milk chocolate, some vanilla, light caramel. Solid.

Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma sweet with the cocoa nibs really coming out. There is also a dry roasted malt under the sweetness of the beer. Flavor is more of a bitter bakers chcocolate with some roast and a quite sizable amount of coffee left after the swallow. A beer that brings something after each sip. Some chocolate notes one sip and the next sip is some coffee and roasted malt. Soild beer.
