Santa's Little Helper
22 oz. bottle, 9.5% ABV. Pitch black in color, with a thin mocha head. Head disappears rather quickly. A few spots of lace stick to the glass. Roasty aroma, with some milk chocolate and cream. Smells like a milk stout to me. A good amount of sweetness at the front. Some milk chocolate, cream, and a hint of sharp lactic tartness. Not much bitterness, but a bit of roasty flavor helps to balance things. Full body, and a bit creamy. Alcohol is very well hidden, as this disappeared rather quickly. Very smooth and easy to drink. A very approachable RIS.
