About This Beer

To create this Milk Stout, the brewers started with a base of debittered black malts and smooth-as-silk golden oats, for a body that’s roasty and pillowy with a slightly sweet finish. Then they aged the brew in ultra-premium barrels!

Tasting Notes

While the beer has not yet been released, we fully expect this one to delight Stout fans! Look for currents of freshly-brewed mocha coursing through waves of barrel flavor — whiskey caramel and oaky vanilla will definitely permeate this brew. And if the original Dark Mode is an indication, it’ll finish softer than black velvet.

Creamy head, Bourbon and oak aroma, roasted malt taste with subtle raisin and fig sweetness, velvety mouthfeel, and a warming alcohol finish.

Dramatically better than the non vso version of the beer. Barrel level is amazing.

A little too sweet for me. Still tasty because Revolution doesn’t miss… but just a bit too sweet.

Incredible rich chocolate, barrel and toffee aroma. Doesn't fully transfer to the palate, with far more dark fruits - prominent raisin and subtle fig. Burnt sugar, toffee and chocolate. Very enjoyable. WBA

Definite sweetness but well blended with the bourbon-barrel aging. Nice stout base that supports all of it.
