Pours opaque with an inch of mocha colored foam. Retention is minor. Lacing is sporadic but thick where it lands.
Aroma of chocolate, roast, and sweet. As it warms smoke aroma
Taste is chocolate and roast. The finish comes across as dry, almost ashy. Black patent? Even smoky, maybe, but very dry.
Medium body with a complimentary carbonation. A bit too dry for a milk stout.
Not one of the best attempts from an usually spot on Half Acre. A milk stout is hard to make fancy and, for me, smoke doesn't make a beer beer better. Enjoy!

Beer Notes
Coco richness and lactose silk surround roasty notes to offer this stout a firm stance.
