Like your favorite cup of Café Mocha, Moo-HooChiato “Chocolate Espresso Imperial Milk Stout “ puts you in the right state of mind. Take in the aroma of expertly roasted espresso from Jittery Joe’s and let your taste buds melt into the flavor of Olive and Sinclair’s award winning chocolate. Brewed with lactose sugar for a creamy mouth feel and a touch of sweetness, this is a Barista’s wish come true.

I have no idea why I hung onto this 2016 bottle for so long but I did! Tried it a few days ago and found it to be very nice. I have nothing to compare it to for a later bottle but this was smooth, tasty and I thought very well brewed. I liked the espresso taste especially. It took me awhile to even find it on BA to rate it but I finally did on the “all” button.

Reviewed from notes. Poured from a 16.9 oz. bottle into a J. Wakefield Brewing OG teku glass.
A: Opaque, very dark brown to black, with a low amount of visible carbonation. A half-finger cap of tan head forms with decent retention.
S: Dark chocolate and roasted coffee up front – no surprise there. Cacao nibs and lactose sweetness, vanilla and heavily roasted malts. Notes of tobacco and malted milk balls. Nice.
T: Dark-roast coffee and cacao, vanilla and lactose. Dark malts with a fair amount of roasty bitterness. More drying tobacco under the sweet creamy lactose. It finishes near balanced, with lingering roasted coffee.
M: Overall a heavy body, but a little lighter than some milk stouts. Low carbonation but average for style. The alcohol presence is hidden quite well.
O: Pretty enjoyable. I don’t remember what I paid for it, but as a smaller format bottle that they still chose to wax, I'd imagine it was more than I’d pay for it again. But it’s a solid “imperial” milk stout with good chocolate/coffee balance and nice roastiness.

A: Poured into a snifter to a black beer topped by a dense two finger light tan head which fades very slowly leaving some lacing
S: Smells of chocolate covered espresso beans and that's it
T: Taste is coffee and chocolate with some nice roasted malt notes. huge milk chocolate and coffee continue to be the highlight of this beer with some lactose sweetness. Swallow is more coffee and chocolate with a slight milky sweetness and lingering roasted malt notes.
M: This beer is one the medium side of things in body. Carbonation is adequate for the style as well while the beer has a slightly drying finish.
O: Overall this is probably the best of the series that I have tried. Great flavors and some decent complexity make this one an interesting drink. This one should become a regular offering over some of the others they have tried.

Feel is smooth and full.
Overall a nice take on an imperial milk stout. Glad I got the chance to try it.

500ml bottle. 2016 vintage. Appearance: Jet black, opaque, with a minimal khaki head. Aroma: Rich roasted coffee and mocha. Molasses and a slight hint of dark fruit Taste: Starts with a really rich malt sweetness and strong coffee roast that fades into dark chocolate and touch of toffee, only for the strong dark roast to kick back in on the swallow Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a touch of viscosity, and low carbonation. Finish: Roasted malt and coffee most prominent, with a bit of dark chocolate. Very malty, no real nuttiness apparent Overall: Really nice take on an imperial milk stout, with a dominant coffee roast and dark chocolate that isn’t bitter or acrid. Balances well against the sweetness of the malt and lactose
