Kooinda Milk Porter

Back to Kooi for a new arrival, their milk porter with lactose.

This is a slightly lighter than expected pour, with a loose uncommitted head that's soon gone. The wateriness comes through a little on the smell too which is a wavering cross between a foreign extra stout and a choc porter.

Hmm. It's not bad this, a milk porter very much in style, with the silky sweetness coming through nicely. Nothing revolutionary here but competent and on target.

While milk porters are never a massive beer, I felt this could have been a bit fuller malt-wise to take full benefit from the mellow lactose. As it is it's just a little too light on - pleasant but not compelling. 6.5
