Big pounder can for 3 bucks. Got it at JR's, almost passed it by since it was near the top of my price range; but hey, at least its not IPA related, hehehheh. Was hoping for a higher % but I guess I'll settle. Pour is very nice, increases my thirst. Foaming tan head fades soon. Nose is slight malt on coffee, coffee malt? Taste is coffee fer sher, you'd expect that. Slight cloying but not that much. Thicker rich milk stout effects on the palate. Near over the top flavor impact but never quite gets there. Yea, I'd say this is more of a milk stout than an irish stout. Creamy? IDK. Gets a little annoying on the finish until that mild euphoria takes effect near the end of the can. OK for a tick but probably would not buy again since I know what it taste like.
