Medium-bodied and black in color, this unique stout is brewed with thirty pounds of lactose, an unfermentable milk sugar that imparts a very smooth, roasty character in this “sweet” stout.

Poured into an imperial pint glass. The color was a completely opaque black with a 1 finger foamy chocolaty head. The head lessened to milky white lacings around the glass. Smell reminded me of a bottled frappachino. It had prominent milky smells. Taste was similar to coffee milk but had a bit of bitterness towards the end. Felt very good in the mouth, almost identical to how milk feels. Very easy to drink, wishing I had more.

3.75/5  rDev -6.3%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: Pours a fudge brown color with ruby highlights; the modest cap leaves a few squiggles of lace

Smell: Milk chocolate and tart cherry

Taste: Milk chocolate, up front, with the tart cherry flavors taking over in the mid-palate; chocolate-covered tart cherries linger into the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: This bottle has a few years of age and the lactose has become lactic; I understand that was not the original intent but I kind of like it
