8 Maids-a-Milking is the 8th beer in our “12 Days of Christmas” series, and we’d be udderly crazy to release anything but a milk stout. So we made an imperial milk stout to stand up to whatever Old Man Winter throws our way from now through 2019 with the final release of our series. 8 Maids-a-Milking is brewed with lactose, which is commonly referred to as milk sugar. It’s the only type of sugar that is unfermentable by yeast, which adds more perceptible creaminess and sweetness to the finished beer. This mouthfeel and sweetness is complemented by robust layers of milk chocolate, subtle spice accents from our house Belgian yeast and roasty, cafe elements indicative of our take on the style. Celebrate the seasons with the best of both worlds: enjoy some now, and lay a few down for up to 4 years to be enjoyed upon the release of 12 Drummers Drumming.

    Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

    Pours opaque chocolate brown with a thick and rather persistent tan head. Aroma presents milk chocolate, malty, and subtle coffee and molasses tones. Much bolder flavor ramps up the chocolate and adds cloves, coffee and nutty notes to the mix. Almost like drinking a chocolate bar with nuts. Mouthfeel features firm, viscous body, if not a lot of fizz. OK, that satisfies Day 3 of my Beer Advent - and a satisfying beer this am, honey lamb!

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

    Pours out a extremely dark murky brown color. The aroma is a little like a Grand Cru. The mouthfeel is smooth and thick. The taste is slightly sweet and the malts and other favors come out the more it warms up.

    Bottle. Black pour with a tall, foamy brown head. Lots of vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, coffee yogurt and roasted malt in the nose. Taste is burnt caramel, coffee yogurt, chocolate milk, roasted malt, vanilla, molasses, dark fruit and soft yeast notes. Body is medium with a strong carbonation and a light dry and acidic finish. Ends with more coffee, roasted malt, vanilla, molasses, cocoa, yogurt notes, dark fruit and chocolate.
