Tonight's beer: Lancaster Milk Stout
Lots of dark sweetness—toast, caramel, dark bread—backing up thick roasty chocolate. Earthy-grassy bitterness lurking in the background, with dim hints of peat and molasses and smoke and coffee. Gradually evolves from mostly sweet through briefly bitter to a little dry.
Medium-bodied, maybe a little thicker; decently carbonated. Some roasty dryiness, mostly chewy and a bit syrupy-sticky. Surprising tendencies toward refreshing.
A very drinkable sweet stout, with a lot of flavor for a moderately low-alcohol beer. Very intense and complex for 5.35 ABV, nicely integrated and pretty well balanced. One of the first more-or-less local craft beers I stumbled on when I was first getting into good beer, lo these many years ago.
