hopIQ found 10 beers with the same roasted and coffee character as Vache Folle Impérial Milk Stout. Roasted malt drives coffee liqueur and cocoa nib over a base of dark brown sugar, with licorice and burnt biscuit at the edges. Lactose is added for body, rounding the roast and holding a soft sweetness against it, so the restrained bitterness reads as bittersweet chocolate rather than char. The finish is long and creamy, with the strength showing as warmth. Brewed since 2004. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
