Mother’s Milk

Beer-a-Day #190Keegan Ales Mother's Ales

…[A]s the name implies, [Mother's Milk] is a dark and creamy milk stout. Hints of oatmeal, chocolate and of course, milk make Mother’s Milk’s remarkably smooth and silky finish a classic example of the style.

This is another I scored in the aftermath of our recent get-together. I don’t see Keegan Ales down this way, so I may not get another for a while.

Of course, the name reminds me of “Mudder’s Milk” (“all the protein, vitamins and carbs of your grandma’s best turkey dinner, plus 15 percent alcohol”) from Firefly.

Deep chocolatey brown with a thick head. Chocolate and coffee in the aroma, maybe a bit of vanilla. Smooth, roasted, and rich. Not something I’d want regularly, but as a change of pace or even a dessert, this hits the spot.
