12 oz. bottle purchased at Total Wine - Henderson, NV. Pours a pitch black color with ruby highlights and a tan head and very good retention. Limited spots of lacing. Vanilla and dark roasted aroma. Dark roasted malt flavor dominates with some dark chocolate in the finish. Not as sweet as I expected. Thick enough mouthfeel. Drying finish. Clean and smooth.

On tap at a number of places on a trip from the Bay Area to Yellowstone. First in Elko at a Pizza joint, and the last one on the way home as my free drink for staying at a Casino in Boomtown at 8 a.m.! This was a nice beer as kind of a throwback to the IPAs of a decade ago, but with a more solid fruit hop profile.

Bottle. Moderate chocolate balanced nicely with the lactose for a very easy drinking milk stout. Smooth and highly enjoyable for breakfast.
