Scratch Beer 27 - 2010 (Cocaoabunga)
Received in a trade via StormKing47. Poured into a standard pint glass. A: Pours a rich and thick black with about an inch of tan colored head. Retention is ok and some small spots of lacing are left on the glass. S: Solid mix of roasted chocolate, sweet milk sugar, and a hint of coffee. There is a hint of smokiness, as well. T: I can taste the chocolate right off the bat! The nose led me to think that the roasted chocolate malts would be followed by a sweet finish, but I'm not getting as much sweetness as I've experienced before in a Milk Stout. I'm getting more of a smoky finish. Not bad, but not the sweet finish I was hoping for. M: Very creamy and smooth, like a cold glass of chocolate milk! Just what I expected! D: This went down very smoothly. Another enjoyable beer from Troegs. I'm looking forward to trying the next 3 scratch beers I have waiting in the fridge!
