All Inn Brewing Writer's Block Milk Stout

As a writer, I can vouch for the reality of writer’s block, and the feeling that one’s head has been replaced with an inanimate object.

But this Writer’s Block is full of life. With a rich tan head reminiscent of crema, this beer may look like espresso but it tastes more like iced mocha. Chocolate and coffee flavours come together in a dance; it’s sweet without being too sweet, delectably thick for 6.7 percent ABV, and leaves just a feathery brush of warmth in the back of the mouth.

If you like your stouts dry and roasty, steer clear. If you like snuggling up under a blanket with a mocha and a good book, get this into you.
