The Story? As previously admitted, I was predominately an IPA/Pale lover and it took me some time to come over to the dark site. If memory serves (which is somewhat of a stretch), Southern Tier's 2X Stout was my first milk stout. As we head towards the cooler months, these warming, dark favorites come to mind.
This particular stout is brewed with ale yeast, two varieties of hops, three varieties of malts and lactose sugars. Also, if you find this on Nitro draft, do yourself a favor and check that out.
The Beer? This 2X pours out with light brown fluffy head and jet black, opaque body. No light getting through this black gold. The nose if full of creamy, roasted malts and a touch of smoke.
2X goes down incredibly smooth with a full, creamy mouthfeel and low carbonation. Deep, roasted flavors dance with notes of toffee and scorched coffee, with a distinct sweetness threaded through.
A solid, year-round, anytime Milk Stout.
