Barrel-Aged Milk/Sweet Stouts

Alewerks Brewing Cafe Royale made for a fine way to ring in New Year's 2014 for me.

 

When fresh, I described both this one and Mean Gene as Woodford Reserve milkshakes made with chocolate ice cream (not necessarily bad). You should post a review of this in the cellar reviews thread after the right moment strikes you. I'm very interested to hear how this beer mellows/develops.

 

Almost all hole in the wall stores have some, it didn't exactly fly off the shelf at that price.
Just check beermenus.com
I'm pretty certain foremost liquors on Peterson and lincoln had some last week.

 

Where does one buy a Bourbon Barrel ? Think I may purchase one and rent it to my home brewing friends

 

You should be!It was phenomenal.I also agree with 18th Street's Hunter(Coffee)

 

Yeah,it was a beauty.I actually just sent it to a trade partner along with a bottle of Sump.I'll keep you in mind if I see them back around.

 

Life is like and CCB sweet stout aged in cognac barrels are two if the best ones I've tried in recent memory.

Not Bourbon but they have used Whisky barrels.

 

FFF BA Moloko is definitely a favorite of mine. Always the one beer I seek out at DLD.

This was my thought as well!

 

To Øl -
Sort Mælk
13.1% barrel aged imperial milk stout - its delicious

 

Its classified as a double/imperial

 

I don't think his rebuke was very strong.

 

It's uncommon, but if you ever locate a beer called 70K from Against the Grain, you'd love it. It's a massive milk stout (13%abv) aged in Angel's Envy barrels. Unbelievably tasty and dangerously drinkable.

 

Such a great beer.

+1 for Cafe Royale. Can't wait till it gets bottled again.

 

Definitely would love to try that. Moloko is one of my favorite stouts, can't imagine it in a BB.

 

That sounds like an interesting brew. What makes something a milk stout anyway? Is it simply the addition of lactose to any stout?

 

BA Moloko

 

If you want a great milk stout, check out Cozy Up from Woodland Empire. Only released in Boise ID and I can definitely get some to trade.
