Black Sheep is one of my favourite breweries so I had high hopes for their award winning Milk Stout and I was not disappointed.
Brewed with lactose, it's a velvety black stout with a tan head that is thick, tight, creamy and robust, as we have come to expect from Black Sheep. The head lasts a lot longer than the beer did, that's for sure!
The aroma is quite light with notes of malt, chocolate and hops that you would expect in a stout. The flavour is delicious; it's so chocolatey and malty that it's almost the same sort of flavour as a chocolate Horlicks. It's so smooth, creamy and full-bodied that it's silky smooth in the mouth. It's perfectly carbonated - it's not too fizzy so it retains a lovely smooth mouthfeel.
It's a very well-balanced stout with an initial hit of sweet malt and vanilla contrasting with a slightly bitter chocolate and coffee finish. It feels like a hug in a glass - it's so delicious and easy to drink that Ale definitely Be Seeing You again!
4.4% ABV
