Also known as Cream Stout. Milk Stouts are made with milk sugars left over usually from making cheese. Milk sugars do not ferment so Milk Stouts usually are lower in alcohol. In the 1800s and early 1900s, Milk Stouts were touted as nutritious and good for you. Pregnant mothers would drink it during pregnancy to get iron, protein, and other nutrients. Though these claims are a bit exaggerated, there is minor merit in what they advertised.
Milk Stouts are the beer equivalent of a milk shake. They should be sweet up front, a nice rich chocolate flavor in the middle, and a sweet and smooth finish. They should smell of malt and cream.
