Eastlake Almond Milk Stout

Eastlake Almond Milk Stout.
4.5 % ABV. 19 IBU.
Eastlake Craft Brewery, Minneapolis, MN.

Here we have again, thanks to the sample man, another serving of one of Eastlake's flagship beers that I first tasted when they first released it over four years ago, but I'm taking notes on for the first time now.

Full-on ebony, roasted tan head on top, utter opacity. Looking good.

In the nose: Creamy, nutty, malty. Small amount of bitterness, good dose of roast.

In the mouth: Roasted/toasted malt, minor hops, slightly nutty flavor. Veers toward the sweet, but ends on a dry note. Medium-bodied, goes down nice and smooth, crowler finished in practically no time.

I didn't have much else to say about this one. 'Tis what 'tis.

This entirely vegan brew is a sweet UK-style stout. Almonds, flaked oats, midnight wheat, Willamette hops.
