Description:
Not your typical “Jelly of the Month Club” beer. Dark roasted malt and bittersweet cocoa and coffee flavor and aroma burst from this pitch black milk stout. The full body and sweetness are derived from the addition of lactose (aka milk sugar) which is not fermentable by beer yeast. A healthy dose of Nugget and Crystal hops provides a counterpoint to this ale’s rich and complex maltiness. (Description provided by company)

Comments
Very good milk stout
35K poured out of the can black with very little light penetration. A small tan head stick around for a minute or two. No lacing, really. Bittersweet chocolate, coffee, and cream come to mind when I sniff. Taste is nice blend of coffee and chocolate with some grassiness from the hops. Not too sweet, not too bitter. Luxurious thick body. Very enjoyable stout.
