Our Chocolate Milk Stout. A very dark, full-bodied ale. Hints of roasted caramel malts along with luscious Betsy Ann milk chocolate mingle with lactose sugar for creaminess in every sip. Cited by Modern Brewery Age as "the most chocolately of them all" in a tasting panel of several chocolate beers.

Draft in Washington PA. Pours a deep brown color with a medium tan head. A rich nose of chocolates and coca. The flavor is a big milky chocolate forward beer with some ash. Very good. Nice example of the style.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a black color with a large creamy brown head that lingered forever and left great lacing. The aroma was somewhat bitter and toasty with notes of cookie dough, vanilla, cream and a touch of wood. The flavor was strong sweet vanilla, cream and marshmallow with light notes of chocolate syrup and cola. The finish was very long cream, vanilla and marshmallow. A bit thin in body but silky smooth. Well done.

On tap at Bites & Brew. Big beautifiul pour, took 5 minutes to do it. Black and nitro thick with a nice foaming appearance, like a good guinness; haven’t seen one like this for a while. Really somthin to look at. No hint of choco in the aroma, just a clean olfactory, perhaps the foam is abating the smell. Stoutish taste but again no hint of chocolate or if there is I can barely detect it. A little leather in the background. Fairly mild and goes down quite easy. Yes, a very friendly stout, however; even tho its styled as a sweet stout here, its more in line with a stout or dry stout. Nice finish and overall good dark beer experience, very little if any associated bitterness.
