Mango pulp milk stout - is it a good idea ?

[beerRush]

Hi guys,
I'm going to do a milk stout and I want to execute an experiment with not "clichéd" fruits , so I incline to do milk stout with mango pulp, what is your experience with that ? What was the result ?

Hello! I have an experimental Belgian honey wheat ale where I whirlpooled an IPA hop (Azacca) and added a can of mango puree (49oz) in secondary.

I tasted during secondary and the mango popped during day 2 or 3, and mellowed/bittered a bit by the end.

What I can say is if you use it, add after racking to secondary or your yeast cake may eliminate all the mango flavor.

However, since a stout almost inevitably has coffee, roasted, or chocolate flavors, not sure how a tropical flavor like mango will mix. If you are looking to try something unique maybe apricot and vanilla for a peaches and cream taste? Add clove as well? (I say apricot because peach doesnt hold up well in beer)

buy a stout you like, add mango to it, and see how it tastes.

Personally, it sounds disgusting, but if you like it, go for it

Haha I like this idea! I consider myself very adventurous and LOVE to take the road less traveled and experiment, but I just don't see mango working well in a stout. MAYBE a smooth porter? But again tropical and dark beer might be hard to mix.

That's what I was thinking too, but you never know!

After 3 weeks in a bottle - I can say more about that beer which surprisingly is really good - it is well balanced with lactose and - very drinkable and this beer is 16 blg, photo attached
Cheers !

Do you actually get any mango flavor in it?

In my experience the amount of mango you added was low even for a pale beer let alone a dark one.

1.Yes I do , I did 0.85kg/8 l for this milk stout.
2. For mango Milk shake IPA for 24l/3.4 kg
In both styles that amount was sufficient for me.
