Looking for milk stout recipes- please

[Turfgrass]

I recently brewed up a milk stout with some older grains and US-05. I tried a small sample from some leftovers that was remaining in the lines on the way to the carboy. Tasted rather roasted and I probably mute that at some point in future batches. Below is what I used. What do you use or what would you do differently? Thank you.

9lbs Maris Otter
8.5lbs Carafa III
1.2 lbs Chocolate rye
.5 lbs Pale Chocolate

1lb lactose
Saaz
East Kent

Here's a Left Hand Milk Stout Clone attempt that looks good from the HBT recipe section. I have this one on the list to try down the road.

I would drop the Carafe III and up the base malt and up the roasted malts that you have by a bit or add some roasted barley, no more than a pound or so.

I already thought it tasted a bit too roasted. Does it mellow with fermentation or through the aging process?

This is a fantastic stout. I also soak 4oz cocoa nibs and 4 vanilla beans in Bourbon, vodka or Rum for a few weeks then add before kegging .

You could go back to the original milk stout, Mackeson :

8.5 lbs of Carafa III? I suspect that should have been 8.5 oz.

Brain fart- stuck on .5lbs or 8oz i guess.

1/2lb carafa III
