Toppling Goliath Mornin' Latte Imperial Coffee Milk Stout

Toppling Goliath Mornin' Latte Imperial Coffee Milk Stout.
8.9 % ABV. 20 IBU.
Toppling Goliath Brewing, Decorah, IA.

Deep black, full opacity, slim brownish head.

In the nose: Earthy, rich, espresso, sweet and creamy malt flavors. A little nutty, bit of cocoa. Quite a lot happening.

In the mouth: Large malt presence, bursting with flavor, Creamy and smooth, while also outsized and expressive. Yum, I am forced to say, a dum dum. Milk, chocolate, coffee, booze, and not necessarily in that order. Damned delicious. Great balance in this one, too, as there's never too much of any element.

Imperial Coffee Milk Stout brewed with lactose and a careful blend of cacao nibs giving it a dark chocolate, toasty and toasty sweet coffee taste
