16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but was just released.

Lingering notes of milk/white chocolate, cocoa, medium roast coffee, honey, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough/crust, nuttiness, pear, apple, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of bready malts, lactose, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/roasted bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 9.6%. Overall this is an excellent white stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of bready malts, lactose, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the big ABV, with the mildly bitter/drying finish, great soft feel. Great balance of rich malts/oats, lactose, cocoa, vanilla, and fruity/nutty coffee complexity; with nice earthy hop presence/balance. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressively spot on style example.
