Draught at Napper Tandys Rozzie, 12/30/18.
Some clarity to this otherwise espresso bean colored stout with a rapidly dissipating, light tan head.
Nose is the expected milk chocolate, fudge and espresso bean with low lactose character and low fruitiness (prune, raisin, plum) in general. More of the chocolate-caramel-fudge-vanilla here. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's soft, watery even, with low carbonation and a soft, velvety texture. Sweet, not intensely so, with no syrup or thick fudge. Maple, caramel, fudge, milk chocolate and light-to-moderate roast give a pretty standard rendition of the sweet stout without much lactose presence. Low on the dark fruits. The carbonation was super low and the texture loose and watery, but otherwise this was pretty solid.
