Brought some bottles home from an OBX vacation. Poured into a chalice glass for review. Pours a very dark amber (wouldnt have known if not held up to the light), otherwise seems black. Nice offwhite head with lacing that clings to the glass. Smells of lactose and light roast. Some subtle chocolate and cocoa. Hops arent evident besides bitterness except perhaps a woody or earthy undertone. Tastes roasty with lactose milk and a nice velvety feel that coats the tongue. Feels mediumfull bodied but drinks ever so smooth. Drinks dry as theres not a lot of sweetness. Overall, a very nice milk stout. A quality beer with alcohol well in check.
