New Holland Dragon’s Milk Reserve with Raspberries
Nice clean aroma with a hint of raspberries. Slight edge of bourbon flavor that gets replaced by dark malt, and then a nice raspberry flavor comes in. Overall very balanced 3-way tug-of-war going on between bourbon, dark malt, and raspberries. You can feel the alcohol heart in the aftertaste, slightly lingering in the back of the throat. I think I would like it more of there were less bourbon presence, and it was just the dark malt and raspberries commingling.
Bottled 10/06/15, drank 11/17/15.

Saugatuck Neopolitan Milk Stout
Slightly fruity strawberry aroma plus dark malt. Flavor is strong with dark malt but a hint of strawberry in the background and leaves you with a creamy/foamy mouthfeel at the end. Interesting, but maybe a little too sweet at the end.

Rochester Mills Vanilla Stout Cask
Slightly sweet, clean aroma of vanilla and dark malt. Very sweet taste, quickly replaced by a maltiness that’s slightly dark malt flavor, but very mild. Sweetened with Michigan maple syrup and you can taste that in the initial flavor.
