I remember in college, I use to drink Black and Tans.
The can reminded me of this, but it wasn't.
The beer was black like Guinness, but it wasn't.
The foam reminded me of cream soda, but it wasn't.
I'm not sure where Elysian is, but they made a super easy drinking Milk Stout.
Not bitter, not sweet, but light with some body.
Add the foam to the top, and it's almost as if you're drinking a light, unsweetened milkshake.
It won't make you feel heavy afterwards, but it will fill you up.
Good pairing with meat and potatoes. Perhaps a Shepard's Pie.
