Milk & Cookies

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to near-black in the glass with a dense, tan head that exhibits strong adhesion to the rim. The body is opaque and full-bodied, suggesting substantial Malz character and adjunct integration. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a smooth visual presence without aggressive bubble activity.

◌ Aroma

Vanilla dominates the nose, supported by warm spice notes—particularly cinnamon—that sit comfortably alongside sweet cereal and toasted grain. Golden raisin and dried fruit character emerge from the middle ground, while dark roasted tones provide earthy depth without dominating. The overall impression is rich and rounded, with the vanilla and spice creating an almost dessert-like entry.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with creamy, full texture and pronounced vanilla sweetness balanced by moderate bitterness (65 IBU). Mid-palate reveals warming cinnamon spice, dark chocolate, and raisin notes that layer atop a smooth, oatmeal-derived foundation. The 8.7% ABV manifests as gentle alcohol warmth rather than harshness, allowing the adjunct profile—vanilla, spice, fruit—to remain in the foreground throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with vanilla and cinnamon lingering softly into the aftertaste. Residual sweetness and roasted grain notes fade gradually, leaving a pleasantly dry, lightly chalky impression.
