A Note on This Beer

You deserve a break — in the form of today’s chocolate-stuffed Imperial Stout!

The craft confectioners at Colorado’s River North loaded Milk Chocolate Mr. Sandman with six pounds of cacao nibs per barrel, along with vanilla and lactose for a creamy mouthfeel. It’s like biting into a bar of rich European dark chocolate, with whispers of brown sugar and belly-warming booze.

And at 11% ABV, this isn’t your typical afternoon snack — it’s more of a kick-your-shoes-off at the end of the day, snuggle up on the sofa, and put on your “out of office” response, type of treat.

When it’s late afternoon and those cocoa cravings hit, you can tell boring old Hershey’s to take a hike. Pour yourself a glass of this sophisticated sipper and wrap your taste buds in roasty decadence.

Today’s brew is a cocoa-covered version of the original Mr. Sandman, which Paste Magazine called “a revelation,” awarding it the number one seat in their blind taste test!

Beautiful looking beer, black as night with a brown head that recedes to a thin yet persistent line with great lacing. the aroma is probably the best part of this beer. smells like chocolate cookie dough with hints of cinnamon and ever so slight dark fruit. the flavor follows the nose but less intense, the chocolate shines along with toasty malt character and some slight spice and whispers of dark fruit on the end. the mouthfeel let’s the beer down however as it is a bit thin. if it was more full feeling it would be perfect.

Not bad, chocolatey with a bitter aftertaste. Hides the booze pretty well for 11%.

surprisingly not sweet. vanilla nose but very little chocolate or spice. finishes a bit roasty but just isn’t for me.

Cocoa, vanilla, and roasty flavors. Delicious, but I don’t get very much spice.

This is like a bomb spiced dark chocolate or crazy boozy espresso. So good. The milk chocolate and sweetness helps the boozs for sure 🔥
