Huge thanks to BigBadBarrel for this bottle!

poured into tulip glass.

Appearance: black bodied beer with 1 finger of tan head. Drops down to a thin uneven cap.

Smell: milk chocolate, cocoa nibs, vanilla beans, lactose note and mild roast.

Taste: mild to moderately sweet milk chocolates. Lactose note, a hint of nuttiness and roasty malts. Cocoa and vanilla notes add to the sweetness of milk chocolates. Finishes with a mildly bitter and dry cocoa note and the vanilla sweetness seems to linger and balance out the cocoa flavor. Really nice!

Mouthfeel: medium bodied beer with low end of moderate carbonation. Silky and creamy mouthfeel. Ultra smooth beer that drinks like is 5% abv.

Overall: This milk stout is even a little more enjoyable than both Moo Hoo and Lugene; who are both big names in this beer style. This is probably my 2nd favorite Milk Stout that I have ever drank. Only Surly Four is better! Kuhnhenn another wonderful beer! Wish that this beer didnt have a single bottle limit this would be a great beer to add as a regular offering at Kuhnhenns. It really too bad this beer was such a limited offering, I would like to see more of this beer!

Thanks saisonrichbiere for the hook up

The beer pours jet black with an inch of dense tan head that fades down to a centimeter thick blanketing. The nose is potent milk chocolate, very sweet, but not black tuesday sweet. The taste engages my palate with more complexity than just the chocolate-milk-beer I'd expected. Rich milk chocolate up front transitions into a dry, bitter, >65% cocoa-like finish. It's safely medium bodied, if not full bodied, smooth, reasonably attenuated and has a dry Irish-stout-like finish. Honestly, the back-end bitter roastiness and touch of acidity brings out the vanilla, which is almost completely overpowered by the nibs. I like this beer more than most milk stouts, especially with definitive vanilla and cocoa and a maintained drinkability (i.e. it doesn't feel/taste like I'm chugging down Hershey's syrup), but I'm not sure I'd make a second request for it considering kuhnhenn's other offerings
