Cream Stout
Oak Lawn, Illinois
Sweet stout is sometimes called milk or cream stout, because lactose is added to the boil. Lactose is an unfermentable sugar, so the yeast doesn't convert it and it adds sweetness and body to the beer. A very dark, sweet, full-bodied, slightly roasty ale. Often tastes like sweetened espresso.
