This oat milk stout is made with locally roasted, ethically sourced coffee. Lactose sugar provides a sweet and creamy mouthfeel to balance the bitterness of the French roast coffee. The addition of cacao nibs creates velvety chocolate notes in this surprisingly light beer. Mocha Stout- you don't have to be a coffee drinker to love this beer.

Can (best by 8/1/25) from Total Wine & More, W. Hollywood. Opaque, murky brown with tons of sparkle, ephemeral head and no lacing. Aroma is strong, roasted malt, somewhat plasticene quality. Taste mirrors aroma, faint lactose. Frothy texture, average carbonation, roasted bitter finish. Not a great look, weird fake plasticene quality and quite bitter. Not getting the lactose or chocolate.

12oz can pours dark brown almost black topped with a tan head. Nose is nice big roast coffee some chocolate. Taste is more of the nice sweet chocolate rich roast coffee notes and a nice finish.

Can from one of our Beer Advent Calendars, cannot recall which one but this must be the very last Christmas beer that has evaded me. Consumed at home Sunday 12th May 2024 outside gardening. We had Smoked Char Sui (smoked yesterday for 6-7 hours) with Special Fried Rice, and shortly for dessert a Rhubarb Pie and Rhubarb Ice Cream. Pours black with a huge big bubbled cappuccino coloured head. Huge amount of coffee on the nose, nice roastiness, but there is a lovely roasty and bitter tang. Smooth with a little fruitiness, a little milky edge, but wow so much coffee.

In der Nase sehr intensiv Espresso, optisch natürlich pechschwarz, recht fluffiger Schaum. Im Trunk deutlich Kaffee, milchig, Lakritz, hinten süß, passt.

Can from Advent calendar drunk while testing my folding home theater sound absorber in front of the door with The Matrix lobby scene. Darkest black-brown, big tan head. Complex roasty coffee and cacao nose, unsurprisingly. Great smooth flavor, well rounded with hints of all the above, mildly sweet. Big mouthfeel but could do without the lactose, it's not really needed.

12 fl. oz. can from the Beer Republic advent calendar. Jet black in the glass with a more than one finger thick beige head. Intensive coffee and milk choco aroma. More coffee with some lactose at the first sip. Some fruity elements in the background. Litle bit dry. Low to zero carbonation. Fruity sweetness, nearly sticky to the end. Nice one.

335 ml can from Beer Republic advent calendar. Near black with a thin, tanned head. Sweet aroma with ground coffee, cocoa beans, toasted bread, and herbal hoppy notes. The taste is light sweet. Medium body. Slightly drying finish with lingering coffee and dark malts. Very nice.
