Sweet Stout 6 º

Ashover Brewery

This Milk Stout from Ashover Brewery offers a sophisticated interpretation of the Sweet Stout style, balancing a robust 6% ABV with velvety drinkability. The profile is defined by rich, chocolate roasted essences and indulgent notes of sweet caramel. A distinct creamy presence, driven by the addition of lactose, softens the mild roasted grain bitterness and integrates beautifully with subtle hints of freshly ground coffee. The finish is smooth and lingering, showcasing a luxurious interplay between dark malt complexity and unfermented sugars, resulting in a comforting, full-bodied experience reminiscent of sweetened espresso or artisanal chocolate.

Appearance. Very dark brown to black (35-40 SRM); thick, creamy tan head with good retention and lacing; opaque in the glass.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring rich chocolate and lightly roasted coffee notes; distinct cream-like sweetness from lactose; subtle undertones of caramel; low dark fruit esters; hop aroma is negligible.

Taste. Initial impression is sweet and creamy; dominant flavors of milk chocolate and sweetened espresso are layered over a soft caramel base. Moderate bitterness is present but largely masked by the high residual sweetness of lactose. The finish is smooth and lingering, maintaining a balance between gentle roast and creaminess without becoming cloying.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally creamy; moderate carbonation provides a soft lift; light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is noticeable but smooth; no astringency.
