16oz can from a random liquor store on Cape Cod. Drunk at our apartment in Dennis Port. Pours dark with a small tan head. Decent milk stout, has an appealing milk chocolate undercurrent with additional candy notes.. not bad.

Can at home. Just new brewery ticking. Dark pour and beeybamege head. Nose is chocolate and cola. Tastes kinda off. Chocolate, cola molasses sour mash. Odd finish

Draught at Europa Black Rock, 5/27/17.
Dark, milk-chocolate-to-dark mahogany, seems fairly opaque, with a light tan head atop showing moderate retention.
Rich chocolate, molasses and a more dry coffee-vanilla element comprise the well-balanced nose. Lactic character sits gently on the finish, adding light acidity in concert with the molasses-like note. Despite being obviously dessert-forward with lots of adjunct and malt sweetness, it doesn’t come off "fudgey" or seem like it’s going to be a syrup/sugar bomb. Roast emerges more and more with warming, while the lactose and vanilla hang on, as well. Dark fruits abound and the chocolate element wanes. No alcohol or flaw.
Indeed not syrupy or sugary in the mouth, though it is thick and rich, with all sorts of chocolate notes leading to sweet caramel-vanilla and a moderate acidic finish that displays plentiful roast and lactose. Good amounts of plum, currant and grape-like notes are intertwined with vanilla and chocolate. Low but engaging carbonation and a malty, soft, lightly sticky texture is achieved with no alcohol or flaw. Quite rich, but I love that it’s still only 5%. Can definitely get behind that.
