Whey Stout is inspired by the medicinal 'milk' stouts of Victorian England – enriched with lactose (refined milk sugar), they were prescribed for a wide range of ailments. In our case, getting the lactose involves carrying nearly 400 litres of cow's milk whey left over from making Raw Milk C2 to the brew kettle, 50 metres from the cheesery. Our ale yeast cannot digest the whey's lactose, meaning that it remains in the beer after fermentation and adds texture and sweetness. Whey Stout has a full-bodied, creamy mouthfeel and tastes smooth and roasty, with a slightly sweet, milk chocolate finish and just a hint of bitterness.

Purchased at Chas Cole Cellarbrations in Geelong in May 2025 and drunk in August that year. That drinking was done while watching the footy, so the review is a little light on detail...
L: Utterly jet black, with a big, fluffy, coffee-coloured head. There's no carbonation seen in the glass, because no light could penetrate such blackness!
S: The nose is dark chocolate, earth, creamy milk and coffee.
T: The taste is burnt chocolate and coffee with an underlying milky, vanilla sweetness. Very nice!
M: Body is thick and smooth, with higher-than-expected carbonation.
O: Very bloody nice, to the point I wanted to wait until the footy finished to drink the beer and take better notes, but I couldn't resist!
Cheers
