Milk Stout Nitro

Milk Stout Nitro, Left Hand Brewing Company, Longmont, CO
(Sweet Stout, Rated 96)

Left Hand Brewing Company is the first U.S. craft brewery to bottle a nitro beer. Guinness was the first. To make this possible, Left Hand inserted a "widget" of some kind into the bottles that would add CO2 and nitrogen gases once the bottle was opened. The result is an extremely, creamy smooth sweet stout that flows like melted butter through your mouth, well maybe not as thick as butter. Nice smoky, coffee aroma. Taste is sweet, malty, with caramel and coffee. Not as sweet as some sweet stouts though. Very smooth and balanced.
