I picked this up in Australia… in my Advent Calendar (Day 18).
Batch Brewing Elsie the Milk Stout 4.4%
Nice charcoal black color with thick tan foam and a savory chocolate aroma. Great smooth full body with a balanced chocolate malt flavor with just hints of roastiness to balance it out.
Less sweet than expected so they deftly used the lactose. Well done.
RB score 3.06
And so the last of the Aussie beers.

On tap at brewery. Now 6.8%. Opaque red/pink beer with a creamy pink head. Nose is Berry Milkshake. Nice lacing, smooth texture. Tangy fruit to start, creamy lingering malt to finish. Very nice, a lot of fun. Great beer.

Pint on tap at brewery. Pale amber beer with a nice head of white foam on top. High fine carbonation. Fruity nose. Refreshing, quaffable. Medium body. Bitter hoppy finish gives a good balance. Standard West Coast IPA, but nicely done.

Can. Very pale misted gold with a white head. Aroma of mandarin, grapefruit, light peach, some pineapple, crackers. Sweet with peach and pineapple and slightly breadier malt than suggested by the aroma before a moderately bitter finish. OK but lacks presence.

Can. Dark reddish brown with a head that's gone in a trice. Strange aroma of shoe polish, twigs, dried peach and mango. Light bodied, quite fizzy. Dry and moderately sour. Cherries, Diet Coke, dried fruit, twigs, oak. Kind of interesting but I didn't really like it.
