Sampler at the brewpub. I don’t usually go in for chocolate stouts but I think I can definitely go in for a lactose-rich stout that tastes a whole lot like chocolate. That is exactly what this beer was, heavy lactose sweetness that comes off very strongly as chocolate in the flavor. Richly sweet without being sugary.
