16 ounce can into pint glass, best before 7/1/2019. Pours crystal clear nearly opaque dark brown color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, nuts, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light notes of coffee, molasses, dark fruit, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, toffee, lactose, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, nuts, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light notes of coffee, molasses, dark fruit, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal, grassy, peppery hop; and roast/char bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, nuts, toasted dark/brown bread, coffee, molasses, dark fruit, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, toffee, lactose, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a delicious flavored English milk stout. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, toffee, lactose, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Very well balanced nicely rich malts, lactose, cocoa, and toffee flavors; with light earthy hop presence against sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.
