Stout Advent Calendar 2015 - December 8th

I've had to rename the calendar, since it's full of stout.  I'm sort-of complaining - gasping for an IPA.

This one is pretty damn tasty.

Mikkeller - Milk Stout
I'm a big fan of milk stout, Bristol Beer Factory in particular.  I can't remember if I've explained what a milk stout is, or supposed to be.  It's basically a stout, brewed with lactose (not milk!).  Some aren't even brewed with lactose - this one, according to the bottle, contains laktose.  I'm sure that's the same thing.

This particular milk stout is very smooth, and the opening salvo of flavours is fantastic.  Creamy, malty, beery sweetness.  Perhaps too sweet for some, but I do have a sweet tooth.
It has a little bit of a bitter finish, the kind you get after a decent dark chocolate.



Unbelievable as it is, I'm giving two beers in a row top marks!

10/10
