I see there are some older threads referencing this beer, but does anyone has a clone or recipe that is close to the Left Hand version?
(Milk stouts) are typically not very bitter, so you need to put in a portion of roasted barley, but make sure the portion of chocolate malt is twice as big, he explains. The roast will be subtle and youll get plenty of color. If you go heavy on the barley, it will actually be bittersweet. It is better to have more chocolate malt and just a nuance of roasted barley. I also think it works out really well when there is a decent amount of caramel in the beer which is probably going to lead you to this
style anyway.
As for the lactose which is a fine, granulated sugar Christoffel is hesitant to say exactly how much Lefthand adds to their brew, but recommends a range between 5% and 13%. I find it is best to stay within 513% lactose. Thirteen percent is extreme and 5% is a nuance, he says. But I dont want to stop anyone from experimenting ... you could still use 2% and it would create an interesting nuance. It really is an interesting ingredient that could be an interesting additive, but Id shoot for somewhere more to center.
