Beer of the Week

The beer: Milk Stout Nitro

The brewery: Left Hand Brewing Company, Longmont, Colorado

Description (from the website): "Experience America’s Stout. Milk Stout Nitro is a full sensory experience. Gaze at the mesmerizing cascade of all those tiny Nitro bubbles. Breathe in the aromas of roasted coffee, milk chocolate, brown sugar and vanilla cream. Savor the super smooth Nitro sensation. And, smile as the perfectly pillowy head coats your upper lip. This portable draft beer experience is Good to Go straight from the can or served Like a Pro in a glass. From the bottle, Pour Hard to release the Nitro magic inside."

Would I buy it again? Here's the thing: I don't really like nitro beers very much. It's fine for Guinness, since it's Guinness, but that's it. And this beer tastes pretty much exactly like a Guinness, except maybe this one is a bit sweeter. Which is fine, but I'm sure this one is more expensive. Also, despite the can being 16 oz, you only get 13.65 oz of beer, which seems extremely stingy and cheap. So I'd pass on this in the future.
