Milk Stout.

I don't have any tasting notes, but I do remember that it is a great beer. Here is a clone recipe I found on the NB forum. I have not brewed it yet but I remember reading that it tasted very much like LH Milk Stout.

Hope this helps,

I recently brewed this. After about 2.5 weeks in the bottle, I cracked one. Disappointment. Gave it another 3 weeks. GOLD!!!

This is one of the best beers I have ever brewed. I love it, wife loves it, dog loves it.

If you like stouts this is worth a go. Great recipe. Very, very close to Left Hand.

Here are a couple pics moving into secondary. Smelled great, taste test from the very bottom was still very good. Added 1/2 packet cocoa nibs, will wait another 2 weeks or so and see what comes of it. Fyi, this is my ghetto way of filtering from primary to secondary, with a couple grains bags and a colander as filter. Works great.
