Reviewing the Left Hand Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing Company.Score: 71
2011 vintage bottle poured in a wine goblet.
Appearance: Pours a dark black color. Opaque with some ruby highlights. Finger of foamy head that completely disappears. Below average lacing. 2.5/5
Smell: Creamy milk chocolate and roasted cocoa beans. Carrots (thought that may be an environmental aroma). Some booziness. 3/5
Taste: Very creamy. Diluted unsweetened chocolate. A little acidic. Guinness-like. Some faint coffee bean finish. 2.5/5
Mouthfeel: Light-medium bodied, medium carbonation. Very watery. Finishes dry and a little bitter. 2/5
Overall: A step up from Guinness, but not a good beer. Too watery and too little flavor.
Recommendation: Casual beer drinkers will enjoy, but seasoned beer lovers can skip this brew.
Pairings: Whatever Guinness pairs with.
Cost: $2.50 for a single 12 oz beer, or $10.99 for a six pack.
