This beer is refreshingly smooth, tasting of roasted peanuts nuts and caramel. Sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you just want a beer. With this stout, you get both.

16 ounce can into pint glass, best before 7/3/2019. Pours fairly crystal clear very dark reddish brown color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, peanuts, vanilla, cream, and toasted brown bread; with light notes of coffee, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, cocoa, lactose, and peanut notes; with great strength. Taste of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, peanuts, vanilla, cream, and toasted brown bread; with light notes of coffee, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy hop and roast bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, peanuts, vanilla, cream, toasted brown bread, light coffee, herbal, grass, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, cocoa, lactose, and peanut flavors; with a solid hop/roast bitter/sweet balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/roast bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and slightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is an awesome English milk stout! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, cocoa, lactose, and peanut flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the minimally bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful for the ABV. Very clean and nicely rich malt complexity; balanced lactose, cocoa, and peanut flavors; and mild earthy hops against sweetness. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected. One of the best variants so far.
