I was just thinking about formulating a recipe for a beer like this. Maybe I'll drop a Serrano pepper in a bottle of mackesons and recap. It would be flat but I think it might give me an idea without doing 5 gal of such an experimental beer.

So, whatcha think? Chili Pepper Milk Stout? :mug:
 
That sounds pretty good to me.

Do you have a base milk stout recipe that you're going to use, or do you plan on starting from square one?
 
I have never done a milk stout. I'd probably look for something around the Mackeson XXX. However, I understand Left Hand has a good one, I haven't tasted it in so long I need to get back. It's just a style that I'm not that familiar with really. But my tastebuds tell me it will work.

Does anyone have a good base recipe? It would need to be pretty damn sweet.
 
I see what you've got there. I think my new bag of Maris Otter will be christened with this puppy. ;)
 
Here's mine:

Takeaway: Next time I will cut back the IBUs to about 25-30, add 1/2lb more lactose, and bump up the heat with at least 3 tabascos, maybe 4. Also thinking about cacao nibs next time; either in the mash or in the boil or maybe both. The powdered cocoa settles out.

But otherwise it's pretty good. I've been serving it hefe-style, swishing up the cocoa sediment into suspension.
 
A brewing buddy added some chipotle peppers to a Scotch ale. Yummy!!! Never thought about adding peppers to a sweet stout, but that sounds like a good idea.
 
Try duck-rabbit milk stout. mMMmmmm hmmmm!! its delicious. "the dark beer specialists" - farmville nc

Ugh. Some how I managed to add 0.75 lbs acid malt, not 0.75 oz. What is this going to do to my milk stout
