Can to mug.
Appearance: fairly thick dark brown close to black in color with a two and a half fingers of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely and left some light lace
Aroma: lots of milk chocolate up front then sweet toasty to biscuity malts meshing with some coffee roastiness
Flavor: moderately blends the prior noted aromas together sweetly and roasty, slight toasted nuts here; subtle aftertaste of milk chocolate
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; fairly smooth along my tongue; finishes with the milk chocolate
Overall: a milk/sweet stout that is probably sweeter than a lot of others of it's style. It's not a bad beer, perhaps again for me.

Decent enough but unremarkable. Well I don't like overly sweet stouts and this one isn't, but it is a milk stout and this is very lightly sweet. Also minimal body. An unremarkable but drinkable beer.

Taster at the Craft Bar at Grand Boulevard. Pours black ,with a small, frothy, tan head. The nose is toffee and butterscotch, mellow coffee, and walnut. Sweet and malty, with a thick, creamy feel. Interesting and thick, but not complex.

16oz can. Rather classic Milk Stout, would go over quite well in the Caribbean. Opaque brown-black body, nice looking beige head. Full bodied, but not overwhelming at all. Heavy with the specialty malts, lactose adds even more sweetness. I was really hoping this would be a regular Stout, as lactose has become quite overused in the beer world and lost most of its appeal to me in any form. This comes off a little heavy handed to me, not bad but not great either.
