Buffalo Sweat - Tallgrass Brewing Co., Manhattan

Tallgrass' Buffalo Sweat is marketed as a Cream Stout but I had a hard time finding much sweet cream or milk flavor in this beer. That doesn't mean this is a bad beer, but it might not scratch the Milk Stout itch you've got. If you're judging this as a standard Stout you'll have a much richer experience. After pouring this beer into my pint glass I quickly noticed all the roasted malt and coffee aroma. The flavor was almost exactly the same as the aroma, you'll notice a lot of coffee flavored roasted malt and just a hint of sweetness.

The finish is really smooth, there isn't much bitterness here at all. Even though there is plenty of dark roasted malt and coffee flavor, there isn't much bitterness. Being full of strong flavors while remaining so easy to drink is what makes this a solid Stout. Even though it isn't as much of a Cream Stout as I was expecting, I did enjoy the Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat.
