Left Hand Milk Stout

Very dark, but not quite as black as I expected for a stout (IOW, it let's a little light through).

The nose is a mix of dark chocolate and dark roasted coffee, with maybe a slight hint of hazelnut. On the palate, rich and full, without being overly heavy. On the dry side for a milk stout, with only enough creaminess to make it extremely smooth. A little more hoppy than the nose would indicate, but that is probably what is balancing the creaminess so well. Lingering notes of mocha just make you want to take another sip. I'm really enjoying this beer.

Highly recommended.
