Ska Brewing Steel Toe Milk Stout

The Ska Brewing Company is from Durango, Colorado. This is their 5.5% ABV milk stout.

The beer pours black in color, with a tall, but ragged head that fizzles down fairly quickly. The aroma is dark roasted malt, char, dark cocoa, and some star anise. The taste follows the aromas, full-flavored, lots of dark roasted malt notes, chocolate, dark cocoa, with char and some light star anise. The beer has much sweetness, but does come to a mostly dry finish, with a light to moderate bitterness. The beer drinks very smooth, creamy, soft, a great mouthfeel.
