Highland Black Watch Double Chocolate Milk Stout ships this week

Highland Black Watch Double Chocolate Milk Stout will be the second release in the brewery’s new Warrior Series.

Highland Black Watch is a 8% alcohol by volume milk stout, brewed with cacao nibs. The recipe is designed by brewery bartender J Unger.

The name pays tribute to Scotland’s historic military regiment known as The Black Watch. With their dark tartan and mission to keep watch over the Highlands, Highland salutes these warriors with a dark mahogany colored brew that pours silky smooth. Black Watch Double Chocolate Milk Stout combines more than 100 pounds of cacao nibs with five malts, roasted barley, and flaked oats to create a rich, high-gravity ale reminiscent of brownie batter and marshmallows with an aromatic nose and a lingering dark chocolate finish.

Highland Black Watch launches in the taproom on Friday November 27th, and shortly after, the brewery’s distribution area.

Taste: If you love milk stouts (and chocolate), this beer is for you. It’s smooth, creamy, and hard to put down. 12 ounces of dessert at a time.

The first release in this news series was Highland King Macalpin Double IPA.
