Beer 288 - Left Hand Brewing Milk Stout (2.5 stars out of 5)

Brewed and bottled by the Left Hand Brewing Co, Longmont, CO.  Bought at HEB Cinco Ranch and drunk at home in Katy with Sunday lunch on the patio.

The brewery web site: http://www.lefthandbrewing.com/beers

The web site says: "Dark and delicious, America's great milk stout will change your perception about what a stout can be. Preconceived notions are the blinders on the road to enlightenment. Udderly delightful.   6% ABV. Try some of the following recipes with our beer to really bring out the best in what each beer has to offer. Chocolate Milk Stout Cake; Milk Stout Barbecue Sauce on Beef Short Ribs; Milk Stout Cupcakes"

The beer was really dark in the glass and poured with a nice head that quickly dissipated.  The taste was neither good nor bad, a little bit blah really. Slight bitterness in the background and hints of dark chocolate.

  1. Left Hand Milk Stout is actually one of my favorite beers. It has the dark syrupy body of a stout but manages to be smooth to the taste as well. It is great to sip while munching on macadamia nuts or feasting on roast pork.
