I used to be a stout guy, loved em whether they were in a bottle, pint, had a shot of Jameson in em, or I was pounding a pint and puking it back up in the glass and repounding said pint again in my show stopping move called the "Chickenhawk"! Eventually I outgrew stouts. I got tired of the traditional stouts such as Guinness, Murphy's and a few other well known brands. They're bland taste is something I eventually outgrew. But over the last few years as I've been extensively exploring the the world of craft beer I've discovered several craft-stouts that I absolutely love the shit out of and Moloko by 3Floyds Brewery is no exception!
Style: American Milk/ Sweet Stout
%ABV: 8.0
IBU: 30
Brewery: 3Floyd's Brewery
Beer Advocate: 92 Outstanding!
This is just a great beer. Its deep dark almost espresso color fills a glass black! With little to no head the beer just looks fucking tasty in a pint glass. The first sip yields notes of dark chocolate and espresso with sweet hints. As it warm up Moloko becomes creamy and smooth and more sweet showing its teeth a little more with pecan notes as well as other nutty tastes. This is just a very rich beer that should be enjoyed at or a little below a cool room temperature. Moloko is a fall seasonal from 3Floyd's and is out right now.
I love all the beers from 3Floyd's. Moloko is just another great beer in a long line of amazing offerings from 3Floyd's. If you're a stout lover I think you're pretty much obligated to try Moloko and add it to your beer portfolio! I definitely will be getting another bottle for my collection!
Cheers!
