Fans of the 12 Days of Milkshake Stout were especially fond of this one – pours a super dark brown with an off-white foamy head. Chocolate notes are more prominent than those found in the original Milkshake Stout™ mingling with rich, velvety cheesecake. Medium to full-bodied with no booziness. Chocolate Cheesecake is a well balanced beer that pairs nicely alongside a smoked brisket, beef barbecue or vanilla ice cream for a dessert.

Last can from their Seasonal Stout Sampler 6-pack, and not too soon. Very dark brown colour with copper highlights. Warm beige head fizzes away regularly, leaving a little lace. Big sweet-vanilla aromas, kind of giving that whipped cream feeling. Hints of chocolate over the mild roasted malts. I can smell some cheese thing as well. The taste shows a little more chocolate, but with a mix of a bunch of things that do not belong here: rusty water, minty hops. Looks like they mixed a few of the other MilkShake brews together. Was nice trying these. That was good enough.

16 ounce can into pint glass, best before 11/19/2016. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense dark tan head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of huge vanilla frosting, milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, cream, coffee, dark bread, light smoke, and herbal/roasted earthiness. Fantastic aromas with great balance and complexity of cocoa/vanilla/lactose and dark/roast/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, cream, vanilla frosting, toasted dark bread, light smoke, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, cream, vanilla frosting, dark bread, and herbal/roasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of cocoa/vanilla/lactose and dark/roast/bready malt 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 great. Minimal warming alcohol as expected of 5.25%. Overall this is an outstanding flavored milk stout! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of cocoa/vanilla/lactose and dark/roast/bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. The aromas were really amazing with the huge frosting/cheesecake notes out front; flavors were more balanced with the roasted flavors, but still delicious. A highly enjoyable offering.

Draft @ The Stein & Vine. Brune foncée col blanc-cassé. Arôme est malté profond, léger rétro lactose ajoutant une agréable note douce, malt biscuité sur la fin. Palais est épais profond au niveau chocolaté, douce avec une pointe d lactose sur la fin, chocolaté à souhait mais sans tomber dans la version de Angry Chair, retrouve un léger poudreux en retrait. Reste à imaginer que au-delà d’une pinte, la douceur peu devenir un peu de trop.
