I was drinking a sweet stout that I brewed from an NB kit a few months ago, and I had a momentary vision of what one might taste like with a bit of vanilla bourbon flavor.......Mmmmmm
does this defeat the purpose of a milk stout? would it be too sweet? has anyone ever made one like this?
Here's the recipe I have worked up based on Jamil's BCS recipe, and aside from an internal black patent vs roasted barley argument, I would likely soak some oak chips in bourbon for a couple weeks and secondary this beer with them for 10 days....less? more? would this give a hint of vanilla or would I want to add a small dose of that too? how many oak chips would I want to use? hit me with your expertise......
