Sweet stout
(Milk stout, Cream stout)
Sweet stout is a beer style that is usually brewed with the addition of milk sugar (lactose). It is also known as cream or milk stout, and it emerged in England sometime in the early 1900s. Sweet stouts are dark and full-bodied beers that have grainy malt flavors and aromas, often with hints of coffee and chocolate.
They are smooth and creamy, with medium hop bitterness, while their malty character is well-balanced with medium to high sweetness. Sweet stouts are an ideal pairing with chocolate desserts, but they can also work well with creamy cheese varieties, spicy dishes, game, and rich sauces.
In England, the names milk or cream stout are not used, but the terms regularly appear elsewhere. Alcohol content of sweet stouts typically ranges from 4 to 6% ABV.
