Sweet Stout All Grain Kit

O.G: 1042 / Ready: 6 weeks

A sweet stout is just that; a jet-black ale with a roasted-malt character that's offset by a residual sweetness and a full body. Sometimes known as cream stouts or milk stouts, English brewers made them as a nourishing, healthy drink for nursing women and invalids. We aren't making any claims for our Sweet Stout's healing powers or suitability as a sports drink, but we think you'll agree it works at least as well as those magic crystals you saw on late-night TV. De-bittered black and chocolate malts yield a noticeable but not sharp roasty quality, while lactose (an unfermentable milk-based sugar) gives this beer a rich maltiness.
