Yukon Brewing Company Over The Moon Milk Stout at 5.6% ABV (C$3.50 at South Trail Calgary Co-Op, 650 ml, no bottle date or best before)
Appearance: nearly opaque brown-black with a short mocha head, good retention and lacing. (4/5) Aroma: mild/muted, coffee, cocoa, roasty malt, lactic sweetness. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-full body, moderate carbonation, sweet giving way to astringent bitter finish. (3/5)
Initially smells a little unremarkable, with a slightly muted assortment of the usual suspects, and the taste initially follows suit. However, as the pint progresses, the lactic sweetness drops off as the dark roasted astringent bitterness moves forward, completely dominating the finish. The finish is slightly aggressive, and I’ve certainly had better, but it’s not bad at all. (14/20)
