  • Pours clear with a half-inch of light tan foam at best. Retention is as to be expected from a small amount of foam at first. Lacing is juicy and spotty with most falling back.

    Aroma across as light for me. Dark fruits are the strongest here. Toffee is about the only other scent emanating from the snifter. Later a touch of alcohol is there too.

    Taste is a bit subdued overall as the nose. Toffee is the fuel for the flavor with dark fruits, a touch of alcohol, and a bit of bitterness in the end.

    Medium body with nary any carbonation. Nothing out of the ordinary.

    Drinkability is the speciality of the beer. The aroma and taste are both light. Nothing is bad in this beer there just isn't enough there to make it really stand out. Enjoy!

Beer Notes
  • Devil’s Milk is brewed in July and aged until its release in November. It is “dry-hopped” (hops are added after fermentation) nourishing the soul with an unholy alcohol content nearly double that of our other offerings while tempting unwitting patrons with its intense hop finish. Full bodied and fruity with a vicious texture and a great intensity of malt.
