DuClaw - X-4 Macchiato Milk Stout

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Definitely a milk stout. Very sweet. I was expecting more coffee flavor after the bottle boasts of added espresso and asks "bartender or barista?" So yeah, not that much coffee flavor. I guess its nice enough. Nothing mind blowing. 

Terrapin Moo Hoo Stout

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Not as chocolatey as I was expecting from the name. In fact, not chocolatey at all. Slightly sweet. Eh.

Southern Tier Creme Brulee Stout

Not sure what I thought this one would taste like.

I get a lot more hazelnut than I do vanilla. Its not bad though. Not great. Probably shouldn't have poured it to eat with a BLT.

Bonus Mandy Thoughts:
smells like it will go well with bacon. [long pause] it smells like it should taste like delicious butterscotch candy but it doesn't. [takes another sip] [grimaces] [smells again] [takes another sip] [long pause] [puts down the beer] i would have preferred a delicious piece of butterscotch candy.

like most of your beers, it smells better than it tastes. how about this? i don't like any of your beers. [pretty sure she wasn't serious].

Bell's Special Double Cream Stout

From the back of the fridge. I guess I bought the six pack probably in the fall.

There's a weird acidic taste to this. A lot of carbonation and not all that sweet.

I'm not sure if this just didn't age well in the back of the fridge or if it always tasted like this. Will not buy again.

Bonus Mandy Thoughts:
You just want my quote because you know I won't like it because its dark. Are you writing that down? I think I've tried this one before and I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. Its fizzy and that's all I like about it. I should have my own beer blog. Leah [the dog] thinks I should too.

Left Hand Milk Stout

I purchased this at the same time as the Lagunitas Brown Shugga, as I was looking for some beers on the darker end of the spectrum. This lived up to what I was hoping for.

It poured pretty dark, with not a lot of head. It had a slight coffee smell. It had a nice amount of carbonation and tasted slightly sweet and of coffee. I liked it a lot.

I'd definitely recommend this, especially if you're a fan of sweeter stouts.
