Milkshake Stout is our latest Milkshake inspired brew. It is a rich, creamy stout, bursting with coconut, sweet vanilla and dark chocolate (Proper Chocolate Company, Dublin) flavour. A soft water profile leads the way for a soft and pillowly mouthfeel to really shake up this brew. Additions of lactose in the boil give it a fantastic thick body and generous amounts of brown sugar will ensure those with a sweet tooth are satisfied. Shake, Shake, Shake it off!
Malts: Lager, Wheat, Oats, Caramalt, Carafa Special 3, Dextin and Chocolate.
Hops: Magnum
Other: Cacao nibs, muscavado sugar, lactose, coconut and vanilla.

440ml can from Beer52 at the significantly lower rate of 4.6% ABV. Pours black with a a lovely looking consistent creamy head, really looks the part. Aroma of light roasted malts, then the big notes of chocolate, coconut and vanilla come in. These flavours all there in the taste, smooth lactose notes, quite rich, mild long bitter finish. Its quite a rich beer, despite it being sessionable strength, so more of a sipper but that means you can enjoy it for longer so win-win!

Tight tan head left a cover on a dark brown body. Vanilla & chocolate aroma. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated with a cloying back. Chocolate, vanilla, coconut (as per the label), berries & tangy fruity tastes.

440ml can from Beer52 (watered down 4.8% ABV version): BBE Nov 2021. Poured into an old Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 28th Mar 2021. Dark bodied, wispy beige head. Harsh feel to the malty brew, chocolate and vanilla esters/flavours, but lacking depth and smoothness in it's make-up. Didn't find the lactose or coconut as advertised. Maybe the original 5.6% version was better (no mention of the Proper Chocolate Company, Dublin on my can either), this isn't a creamy stout bursting with anything!
