McLeod's Smugglers Bay Milk Stout (500ml Bottle)

Description

Anticipated & delicious, we took 2019 seasonal Billycan Milk Stout & matured it in Brown-Forman bourbon casks for six months. Like its predecessor, the beer is moreish & luxurious. Soft bourbon with vanilla & cocoa on the nose, its equally-captivating palate is smooth, full-bodied & silky leading to a very satisfying finish.

Tasting Notes

Sweet Stout

Dark brown to black in colour. Sweet stouts come in three main varieties - milk stout, oatmeal stout, and foreign stout. Milk stouts are made with the addition of lactose, and are sweet, low-alcohol brews. Oatmeal lends a smooth fullness of body to stouts, while foreign stouts are stronger (6.5-8% abv) and have a sweet malt profile and high esters. All of the sweet stouts are noted for their restrained roastiness in comparison with other stouts, and low hop levels.
