Wolavers Brown Ale

Wolaver's Brown Ale poured a semi-clear, light brown color with a thick, off-white head. The aroma was mostly malt. The body had a light, creamy mouthfeel with thin malts, some spices, and a light amount of dryness underneath. The finish is short with a little bit of dryness. The beer leaves a ton of lace on the glass. This is a lighter brown, very smooth and easy drinking but with a nice enough body to enjoy.

Editor's Note: When tasting the beer there was something in the aroma and body that I could just not put my finger on and it was really bothering me. A quick look at the Wolaver's website and I see that black currant is one of the ingredients. Exactly what I was missing.

Left Hand Milk Stout

Milk Stout poured a black color with a thin, tan head. The aroma had lots of dark malts, a little roasted malts, and a hint of coffee. The body had plenty of malt, light and creamy with a velvety mouthfeel. The milk is clearly noticable. The finish was short, kind of boring, with a slight dryness. This was not one of the better milk stouts I have ever had. The malts and mouthfeel of the body were nice but there was no balance to compliment the smooth texture. Overall, it was just a little too bland for my liking.
