Flavor

Coffee roast carries the palate and is balanced with cocoa nibs. The tasting finishes bittersweet with dark chocolate.

Mouthfeel

Relatively smooth mouthfeel has a slightly less than medium body and medium-low carbonation.

Overall

The Maven tastes more like a straightforward stout as opposed to being a milk stout. And so if you were hoping to satisfy your sweet tooth, you might consider another brew. Otherwise, this stout makes for a nice beer.
