Southern Tier X2 Stout Beer View

Article by FisterRoboto of lefthandhorror.com

Brewed by Southern Tier Brewing Co. New York

$9.99/Sixer

Style: Milk/Sweet Stout

7.50% ABV

Serve at 50-55 Degrees

Enjoyed from a pint glass

A: Pours a deep cola-black with a finger of tan head, nice lace and retention

S: Mostly roasted malts with a touch of chocolate. Nothing to brag about.

T: Roasted malts, chocolate, cocoa powder, a little hint of coffee.

M: Too thin for my liking. I think this is big factor for my take-it-or-leave-it milk stout relationship. It’s creamy, just not enough for my tastes.

O: Not their best entry by far. I love Southern Tier, but this falls flat. I could drink one or two, but the sweetness and thin mouthfeel would wear on me after a while. I love stouts, milk stouts are just a little too weak and then for me when I could be drinking a nice oatmeal or RIS.
