Black Sheep Milk Stout if you want easy-drinking restraint,
Wiper and True Milkshake if you want dessert in a glass.
Both are milk stouts with identical bitterness, but Black Sheep sits lighter at 4.4% ABV—it's the kind of beer you can have two of without thinking twice. Wiper and True brings an extra 0.8% alcohol and noticeably more body; it feels deliberately indulgent, almost creamy-thick on the finish.

Black Sheep Milk Stout
Black Sheep Milk Stout is restrained for a milk stout—it doesn't hammer you with lactose sweetness. Instead, you get a soft chocolate note, a whisper of roasted grain, and an almost tea-like dryness underneath. The 4.4% ABV keeps it session-able, which feels intentional. It's the milk stout for people who don't necessarily want to feel like they're drinking dessert.
Wiper and True Milkshake
Wiper and True Milkshake announces itself immediately: creamy, almost velvety mouthfeel with pronounced vanilla and chocolate notes. The extra alcohol makes itself known as a slight warming sensation on the back of your throat. There's a smoothness here that borders on indulgent—it tastes like the brewers wanted this to feel like a treat, not just another stout.
