🌍 Australia · Milk Stout · One of 10 Milk Stouts in hopIQ

A milk stout at 5.5 percent, dark brown to black in the glass under a tan head. Roasted barley and chocolate malt bring coffee, dark chocolate and a note of burnt bread crust, with Caramunich laying caramel underneath. Lactose does not ferment out, so it leaves residual sweetness and a thick, creamy body that rounds off the roast. Bitterness stays at 25 IBU, low enough that the finish reads sweet rather than dry.

Aroma

The nose leads with roasted barley and dark chocolate, building into coffee-like notes and a subtle burnt bread-crust character. Beneath the roast lies a soft caramel sweetness from the Caramunich malt, adding warmth without sharp edges. Lactose introduces a gentle creaminess to the bouquet.

Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with roasted grain and chocolate flavours dominating the mid-palate. Caramel notes provide sweetness that rounds the roast rather than drying it out. Bitterness remains restrained at 25 IBU, allowing the residual lactose sweetness to carry through without conflict, finishing sweet rather than astringent.
