Logs for this tasting

Just like a strong whiff of Swiss Miss, all cocoa and milk powder on top of a slightly sour, thin stout. Drinkable, but kind of tacked on in the way some of Southern Tier's more over-the-top beers are.
Smells strongly of the chocolate powder dust that kicks up after pouring a packet into a mug. Interesting taste mix between chocolate and malts which results in a sort of banana-y-malt. Tastes sweet but without being tacky, syrupy, or cloying, which I appreciate.
