Dry black coffee stiffness will addict strong beer fans equally enamored by the chewy chocolate malting and chalky mocha thicket sweetening sinewy maple resolve.

HITACHINO NEST SWEET STOUT
Dry Baker’s chocolate souring and stove-burnt coffee drear encumber oily hop-charred oaken cherry, parched fig, sun-dried raisin, purple grape, and candied date fruiting.

KEEGAN ALES MOTHER’S MILK STOUT
Aromatic espresso waft inundates creamy milk chocolate frontage, roasted coffee penetration, and dusted cocoa sedation of frothy mahogany-hued lactose stout. Minor tar notes waver as roasted coffee finish awaits cola nut response.
LANCASTER MILK STOUT
LEFT HAND MILK STOUT
Luxuriously creamy milk chocolate theme sturdily fortifies rigid coffee souring, unrefined cocoa bitterness, and brown sugar caress of deep garnet gem. Though not as robust as regional Oasis Zoser Stout, mellow cocoa buttering, casual cola flow and seared wood nuance further enrich mocha-rich lactose thickness.

NEW HOLLAND THE POET STOUT
Robust mahogany-hued lactose stout integrates abundant bittersweet chocolate-milked creaminess with nutty hop-seared espresso-coffee richness. Chewy fudge center procures molasses-thick cookie dough bulwark protecting honey-roasted oats, assuaged dried fruits and zippy cola-hazelnut snip against acrid tobacco-chawed charcoal-tar bittering. Even a hint of anisette sneaks into the mix.
