Milk Stout is a type of dark beer that is brewed with lactose, a sugar derived from milk. This ingredient adds sweetness and creaminess, resulting in a smooth and rich flavor profile. Milk stouts typically have a lower alcohol content compared to other stouts, making them more approachable for casual drinkers. The beer is characterized by its dark color, often resembling coffee or dark chocolate. Common tasting notes include chocolate, coffee, and caramel, with a velvety mouthfeel. Milk Stout is often enjoyed as a dessert beer or paired with rich foods, enhancing the overall tasting experience.
