Can from Beergium. Aroma is strong espresso with roasted malt, mocha, chocolate, lactose, some caramel, hint of ash, more roasty coffee throughout. Flavour is medium sweet with a roasty bitterness. Body is medium with a helping of milky creaminess. Quite a tasty little Coffee Milk Stout.

Not a bad milk stout, a gentle mix of milk chocolate, dark fruit, coffee cherry, vanilla, and roast. Grows too sweet as it warms—as most modern milk stouts do—but retains a nice coffee through-line and the malts are nice and toasty. Would love to try a version without the milk sugar.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 30A/16B). Can 33.5 cl - Batch 09/27/18 (BBF unknown). AROMA: medium roasted aroma (dark chocolate, coffee) with a sweet character. low nuttiness on the background. APPEARANCE: very dark brown to black colour and opaque. medium brown head, moussy, with good retention. TASTE: initial medium notes of sweet coffee, chocolate, low nutiness, followed by roasted malt. initial sweet profile, followed by medium bitterness with a semi-dry to dry finish. PALATE: medium body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a nice mocha stout well balanced although the cacao nibs are very faint.

On tap at Abnormal, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out burnt coffee, dry cocoa and medium roast. Flavour is along the same lines, with medium roast, light cocoa and dry roasted coffee. Nicely balanced, with the cocoa and coffee working well together. Excellent.

On tap. Black with some head. Wet coffee grounds nose with vanilla. Thin mouthfeel. Big burst of coffee on tasting. Warms to be gentler and sweeter. Nicely done.
