The story of Black Sheep Milk Stout

Black Sheep Brewery is in Masham, North Yorkshire, and was set up in the early 1990s by Paul Theakston, who had left the family brewing firm in the same town. Its Milk Stout is a 4.4% black stout brewed with lactose, the milk sugar that gives the beer its smooth sweetness.

The recipe uses malted barley, wheat, lactose and hops. The lactose sweetness tempers the roasted malt and the hop bitterness, and the finish still turns dry while coating the mouth. Rich dark chocolate leads the aroma with a little coffee and vanilla, and the taste is creamy vanilla over chocolate and coffee.

Milk Stout started as a cask beer and went into 500 ml bottles in March 2018. In 2019 it was named UK champion in the dark beer category at the International Brewing Awards. Because it is made with lactose, it contains milk.

Serve it cool rather than ice cold. The brewery suggests chocolate cake, and a salted caramel pudding or a plate of smoked sausages would suit it just as well.
