Mikkeller's Milk Stout

[peteplus1]

Appreciate a milk stout isn't everyone's 'cup of tea' but I've grown to really like them. I got a wonderful gift at Christmas - Mikkellers Book Of Beer. Has a good few recipes in along the lines of easy to complicated. This comes in under 'easy' so feel quite comfortable with it as I've only done 3 AG brews so far.

Can't add much but looks a good recipe. I recently tried my first milk stout and I liked it alot. Sweet with an after burn of roasted coffee..... superb Deffo relocating this recipe

Wow is it really that abv with a small grain bill
Forgive me but I'am still a novice

 

[Sbond10]

I did wonder if those grains had the ability to get to 6% I can only think the lactose is helping out

Lactose is non-fermentable so adds body to the beer but no alcohol
