Surly Grindcore Espresso Milk Stout

Surly Grindcore Espresso Milk Stout. 6 % ABV. Stout brewed with espresso and lactose. Brewed and canned by Surly Brewing Company, Brooklyn Center, MN. "The original brewery-where it all started."

Previously only available on tap, in nitro kegs, now in cans, it's the re-imagining of Surly Four. That was an iced espresso milk stout, at around 10%.

Total blackness, gorgeous creamy brown head, completely opaque. Looks fantastic.

In the nose: Beautifully complex. Rich and deep, earthy and sweet. Wafts out coffee and cocoa in the warmest way. Vividly expressive.

In the mouth: Full body. Chocolate and coffee flavors flood the palate and make themselves home in the mouth. Delicious malty character continues and spreads and delights. Little bit of dark fruit and cherries pops out with a touch of vanilla, too.

I'm really enjoying this one. Two more left in the 4-pack. Gonna make them last, and go back for more.

WAKE UP. An aggressive, unapologetic barrage of deep coffee flavor defines GRINDCORE. Fusing a rich, slightly sweet stout body with toasty, complex espresso notes, Grindcore thrashes with fervent, uncommon purpose.
