- Tasting Notes
- Rich, sweet, with a medium-full mouth feel and over-the-top chocolately goodness.
This is a sweet milk stout that I designed to make my wife happy. She's not always down for the cause and I wanted something that would make her glad that I am a home brewer.
Mission status: A complete success.
This is one that I will make again and again. I actually think this would be good as a barrel aged or oaked recipe. So, if anyone takes that plunge let me know how it turns out.
The final ABV is a bit higher than stated in the stats below due to the fifth of rum that goes into it.
Here is a copy of my print out from Brewer's Friend:
