The aroma is strong on the honey, and light on the earthy hops and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour has a furniture polish tinge too it, along with super sweet honey notes. This was a drainpour sorry to say.

473ml can <br> 4.2% Abv <br> Canning Date: April 7, 2018<br> Real Canadian Superstore –Main/Thompson (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> April 21, 2018 <br> $2.27<br> The beer pours a translucent amber colour with a generous foamy pinkish head which disappears in seconds. The aroma is caramel, grass, and weak floral hops. Not a citrusy note to be noted. The mouthfeel is weak to medium bodied with below average carbonation. Flavour is mild notes of caramel and grass with a weak bitter finish. As the beer is only 14 days from canning, I can’t chalk up the lack of aroma and body to age, only to it being a not so great beer.

There is very little to no cap to speak of, aside from a small brown island of bubbles. The two predominant aromas are alcohol &#40;it’s only 4.5&#37;&#41; and mint. Closer inspection reveals roasted malt, chocolate, and vanilla. The mouthfeel is very thin, almost soda pop thin which goes along with being a translucent stout and quickly disappearing head. The flavour is very weak, almost watered down. There are weak hints of roasted malt and chocolate with a hint of mint. This did not make for a good beer, but would have made for a great soft drink.

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

After reassessing the previous can, this beer pours like a dark cream soda, a translucent dark cherry red cream soda with brown edges. The head starts off huge and within a couple of seconds is left as an island of bubbles on the centre of the beer. The aroma is quite weak in this case. Weak notes of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and coffee. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. Certainly ‘thicker’ than the Crème de menthe. The flavour was one dimensional coming across as nothing more than roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate.

The aroma right out of the can was blueberry pancakes with roasted malt, dark choclate, and coffee. The mouthfeel is very thin for a milk stout, as with a previous can, very soda-like in mouthfeel. Carbonation is average. The flavour is sweet blueberries, bitter chocolate and roasted malt. Again, not a good beer, but would make a decent soft drink.

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 &#40;only 1 more to go Thank God&#33;&#41; 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.

The aroma is roasted malt, dark chocolate, and weak hints of marshmallows. Kind of disappointing given how the aroma in the other cans was strong on the specialty flavours. The mouthfeel is weak bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is roasted malt, light notes of coffee and chocolate, and a little more marshmallow in the finish. I’m glad these are done&#33;

The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and notes of vanilla. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is roasted malt, coffee, and not much else. Quite one dimensional for a stout, and weak tasting.

The aroma was roasted malt, milk chocolate, light coffee, and vanilla. The mouthfeel was medium to full bodied, slightly creamy, with average carbonation. The flavour is a nice balance between the sweet milk chocolate notes and the bitter roasted malt with a mildly bitter hop finish to boot. Very good beer.

Head is light brown, bubbly, but short lived. There is some nice lacing. The aroma is Neapolitan ice cream as soon as you open the can. Within a minute or two, the aroma settles into roasted malt, dark chocolate, and a hint of berry fruitiness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a two pronged effort with both the roasted malt and sweet berry flavours attacking the tongue. There is some nice bitterness in the finish. Overall, a good beer!
