Milk Stout / Milk Stout Nitro

6.0% Milk Stout / Sweet Stout

POUR HARD! Dark & delicious, America’s milk stout will change your perception about what a stout can be. Pouring hard out of the bottle, Milk Stout Nitro cascades beautifully, building a tight, thick head like hard whipped cream. The aroma is of brown sugar and vanilla cream, with hints of roasted coffee. The pillowy head coats your upper lip and its creaminess entices your palate. Initial roasty, mocha flavors rise up, with slight hop & roast bitterness in the finish. The rest is pure bless of milk chocolate fullness. Famous for their Nitro series, Left Hand Brewing was the first craft brewery to release a bottled nitrogenated beer. For the best experience, pour hard at 180 degrees into a 16oz glass. Different gas, different pour. Cheers! #PourHard

I'm pulling out some old beer that I've had in storage. It's best by 2021 but has always been in a cool spot and dark so maybe it's okay. I first rated this beer in 2019 when I was still just starting. Wonder if I still will give it a 5.0 today. Age hasn't prevented it from having a full and frothy head. May be awhile. Very faint aroma of cocoa. The head is maintaining its character. Not a heavy texture for a stout. Rather thin actually. Flavor brings a bittersweet chocolate, not dark chocolate and not American. More of a mild Swiss chocolate. Definitely not a strong, powerful flavor and not lasting. The first is okay, but by the middle, it tastes more like a dark cola. Flavor is mostly gone by the finish. I will try to locate another of these that is fresh and give it a more equitable rating. Perhaps it's age has affected its flavor. What I have here is not very good and only deserves a 2.6.
