Black Sheep Milk Stout if you want session-friendly restraint,
Gotta Get Up to Get Down if you want serious creamy weight.
Both hit the same 18 IBU sweetness, but Black Sheep's 4.4% lets you stay sharp while Wiseacre's 6% turns this into a dessert beer. Pick based on whether you're drinking one or three.

Tasting notes
Black Sheep Milk Stout
Black Sheep hits different—it's got that lactose smoothness without feeling heavy. You get cocoa and a whisper of vanilla, but the lower ABV keeps it from tasting cloying. This is a stout that doesn't demand respect, just your attention. Finishes clean, almost bright for a milk stout.
Gotta Get Up to Get Down
Wiseacre went full dessert mode here. The cream builds on your palate, thick and almost velvety, with brown sugar and a hint of molasses depth. That extra 1.6% alcohol adds backbone—you feel the beer, not just taste it. It's the kind of pour you nurse, not rush.
