Last can from their Seasonal Stout Sampler 6-pack, and not too soon. Very dark brown colour with copper highlights. Warm beige head fizzes away regularly, leaving a little lace. Big sweet-vanilla aromas, kind of giving that whipped cream feeling. Hints of chocolate over the mild roasted malts. I can smell some cheese thing as well. The taste shows a little more chocolate, but with a mix of a bunch of things that do not belong here: rusty water, minty hops. Looks like they mixed a few of the other MilkShake brews together. Was nice trying these. That was good enough.

The beer, when held up to a strong white light, pours a translucent dark brown colour with blackened edges. The head starts out very generous and is light brown, but quickly dissipates allowing the rest of the can to be poured. The first thing you smell is chocolate milk, the Sealtest variety, followed by weak roasted malts and coffee. As with the other stouts out of this box (only 1 more to go Thank God!) the mouthfeel is thin bodied, however unlike the others, this one is undercarbonated. The flavour is nothing like any chocolate cheesecake I would want to try. In fact, this tastes pretty close to a Yoo-Hoo soft drink. I think I may avoid Rochester Mills in the future.
