Coco Milk Stout 10°

Stout was born in the eighteen century England as a version of Porter and has become rapidly popular in the neighbouring Ireland, where — thanks to the invention of a drum roaster — it has been brewed even darker and more bitter than it ever was by the conservative British. Thenceforth, the Stout has been an asset of the Irish, with the most popular producer being the Dublin brewery of Guinness, marketing its famous Dry Stout. Since the birth of Stout, many various subtypes have been developed from the weakest Dry Stout of mere 10 °P to Export and Imperial Stouts all the way to Russian Imperial Stout with up to 30°P. Mainly the stronger Stouts are often flavoured with nuts, raisins, figs, junipers and various different fruits. With a liking, an unfermentable milk sugar — lactose — is often added, creating a new line of Stouts — the Milk Stout, with a novel pleasantly sweet taste, while retaining all taste properties of the original dark beer. This time, we have ventured in the opposite direction and flavoured our lightbodied Dry Stout (the style made famous by Guinness), now brewing it as a Milk Stout. Moreover, we used a special technique to introduce loads of coconut into the beer and to top it all off, we added a hint of vanilla. In our Coco Milk Stout is first a pronounced coconut aroma, being chased away by a typical fullbodied chocolate and coffee taste of Stout. The coconut flavour is however all but subtle, it comes around in each next sip.
