The Classy Cow is a milk stout that hails from Shakespeare, Ontario’s
Shakespeare Brewing Co. At 5.5%, the stout has a pretty decent kick, and
an amber-highlighted onyx colour with a creamy head. Sold in 473mL
cans, The Classy Cow features a well-dressed Elizabethan bovine on the label.
The
beer has a sweet and rich roasted malt aroma. The flavour also delivers
roasty malt, but this is somewhat drowned out by a massive dose of
creamy sweetness. The mouthfeel is smooth and agreeable, though, and the
finish has a nice café au lait bitterness.
A decent milk stout, but one that trades too emphatically in sweetness, The Classy Cow is tasty, but a bit cloying.
Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
