BREWED FOR: OUR FOURTH ANNIVERSARY. FANTASTIC.

Brewed with too many espresso beans, too much roasted barley, and a healthy dose of milk sugar, this Double Espresso Milk Stout has layers of chocolate, espresso, and smoke flavors, intertwined with a velvety lush body.

Shared a bottle of this. Poured a near black color with a small off-white head. Aroma is sweet malt notes, coupled with some strange green peppers and something else strange that I can’t put my fingers on. Flavor had notes of chocolate milk, light brown sugar, sweet notes. Flavor wins out over the smell!

Shared by Matt, thank you very much. The beer is really strong smelling. Its fumy and sweet, has some light soy sauce. It is very sweet and has lots of coffee. Its a bit astringent. I can handle the light soy sauce and light astringency in the grandiosity of the beer. Its full stuff and yet drinkable with just a few small (doable) flaws.

750 ml bottle shared by mreusch. Pour is black brown, with a smallish khaki head. Aroma is nice clean coffee, along with some roast, and really no discernible alcohol heat. Taste starts off with the coffee, then turns to some soy, and gets a bit oily with some cane sweetness and a touch of heat in the finish. Palate starts medium, with lower carbonation levels, then thins out quite a bit and gets oily towards the hotter finish. Thanks for opening this one Matt.
