Tiger Milk

 A white stout from Ottawa’s Waller St. Brewing, Tiger Milk is a 4.5%, 23 IBU ale. Sold in 473mL bottles, TM is a nitro beer brewed with lactose, toasted coconut, and cocoa nibs. The beer is bronze in colour, largely opaque, and trimmed with a thin layer of white foam.

TM has a sweet, chocolaty aroma with a malty body and a touch of coconut. The beer has a creamy, velvety texture that is a bit thinner than a conventional stout, but very pleasant. The flavour is sweet from end to end, with bready notes and just faint traces of chocolate and coconut.

This is likely the first white stout that I’ve ever genuinely enjoyed. It’s smooth and satisfying, with a subtle, peekaboo flavours.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
