Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro Bottle


Left Hand Brewing Company Milk Stout Nitro. America's Stout. (How did they get that designation? Just gave it to themselves? Was there a vote? A panel of experts? A committee?) Brewed on the bank of the mighty St. Vrain. Enjoy at 40-45 in a pub glass. 1. Pour hard. 2. Admire & Enjoy. Ingredients: Rocky Mountain water, malted barley, hops , yeast, flaked oats and lactose.

Appearance: I kept cold. I poured hard. Got the cascading effect, briefly, we saw the 3-layer effect, the striations, and before you know it, it's a solid black, with a lovely, lush, light tan head holding firm atop.

Aroma: cocoa hits first, cream, a little coffee, too. Some sweetness, little bitterness, lovely stuff, indeed.

Taste: deep dark malt, rich and smooth, nice bitter edge matches well with tasty chocolate and caramel flavors. Creamy and smooth, yeah that's it in a nutshell.
