Beer pours with almost no foam, black and opaque. Smell has the tang of the yeast, iron, and toasted malt. Taste is the same, maybe almost a soy sauce flavor; it may just be me but I always find that milk stouts have a hint of soy sauce flavor. The beer has a sharpness to it from the carbonation due to nucleation in the mouth. I don't know what is going on with the foam on this one. Taste is where it should be, especially with the yeast. The body of the beer feels a bit thin, maybe due to low carbonation. For a milk stout, I give the flavor 4 or 5 out of 5, but the strange carbonation takes her down to a 3.
Opened another bottle and the foam is totally fine. I'm deducting a star for the the thinner body than I wanted. I would probably mash another degree hotter or throw in some carapils to add body next time. The flavor is the same on this bottle, still very good.
