Bam! Three new beers in a row. Now we're cooking with gas!
After my delicious experience with Wachusett's Milk Stout, I decided that I should always try beers in the milk/sweet stout variety if I have the opportunity. So when the guy at the bar finally moved and I could read the draft list, I knew that Left Hand's offering had to be my beer of choice.
This is a dark beer. The Vanilla Stout from earlier was pretty dark, but this one makes it look more like Coca-Cola. The Left Hand beer is more opaque. There is a thin head on it, but it leaves a very heavy lacing pattern. The aroma here is like a roasted sweetness with the usual suspects of coffee and chocolate in the background.
This beer is delicious! It's a little sweet, but not overly so. It's not very carbonated though, which I liked because I don't want a lot of carbonation in my stouts. But some other people probably won't like it because it almost seems flat. Well, to each his own. There's a little bit of the coffee and chocolate flavor in here as well. This is an easy drinking beer.
Final thought - Buy this, drink this, enjoy this. It's fantastic. And it's not too strong, so you can have a bunch before there's a problem.
