JP's Casper White Stout

The can features the slogan, "Discover". The JP stands for James Page Brewing Company. They were one of the original craft brewers based out of the Twin Cities, beginning in 1986 and peaking with some regional popularity in the upper Midwest in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Alas, they went out of business, but the brand has been revived and is now contract brewed by Stevens Point, in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. This beer is 6.0% ABV. In addition to cans, it is available on nitro tap, now that would be a bit more interesting.

They call this a white stout, I have no idea what that means. The beer pours golden in color with a half-inch of thick, white, foamy head. The aroma is of chocolate, heavy cocoa powder, almost Nesquik chocolate milk mix. The taste follows the aroma with a moderately bitter finish. Straight up very cocoa over a plain lager that is just a platform for the added chocolate flavor. It is well carbonated. Now I see what they are getting at with "white stout," but feels gimmicky.
