Easy-drinking stout
A beautiful-tasting, very low bitterness stout, which makes for an easy-drinking stout. Geoff considered it perhaps a little too sweet for his palate. The meagre alcohol content reflects the fact that this was once given to nursing mothers and the infirmed to help keep their energy up. The sweetness comes from the addition of lactose, a non-fermentable sugar.
