FYI: Some good Milk Stouts are hitting the shelfs.

Do milk stouts come from Big ole sexy titties?

I really like the Left Hand Milk Stout... it showed up here about a month ago.  I have not been overly impressed with any of the Terrapin releases, but we get them all, since PA is a close neighbor.

Left hand is decent for me.  Bells double cream is better imo.  If you can find it give that a shot.  Milk and cream stouts are hit and miss.  Not as easy to make as coffee stouts.

I find the left hand watery. Carib Royal Extra Stout out of Trinidad is one of my favorites. John :beer:

I'm assuming you've tried their India Brown Ale?  That was one that took me back and made me say wow.  It's truly what it claims to be - a perfect cross between a brown and IPA.

Sorry, y'all... back to milk stouts.

Meh.  Give me a balanced Imperial or Oatmeal stout anyday.  Have been loving Founders' Breakfast Stout (watch out for the caffeine content on some batches) and am having a buddy send me some of their Canadian Breakfast Stout.

Terrapin is in Georgia just saying. :)

I've been enjoying the duck rabbit milk stouts myself.

I'm on my second round of antibiotics and you guys are killing me. I haven't had anything to drink in 2 weeks. These beers you are describing are right in my wheelhouse. I will be looking out for these suckers, and stocking up. That oatmeal stout sounds mouth watering! But in a manly way. 👍

I am not a big nut brown or brown ale fan in general.  The last cross between an IPA and brown I had was the Stone 18th anniversary beer... and I didn't like it much at all.  I can get the Founders Breakfast stout around here, and I want to say I had a 4 pack at some point and thought it was pretty good.

If it's oatmeal stout you like, Sam Smith is still probably my all time favorite - don't know how they can produce so much and have it come out so perfect. Experience?
