Milk Stout

If you like a sweeter stout try an imperial stout

On the whole Imperial Stouts are not sweeter than Milk/Cream Stouts.

Indeed; quite the opposite. Imperials are just more grain (that is, fermentables) and less water. Milk Stouts add unfermentable sugar, and thusly sweeten the final product instead of contributing more alcohol. That's not to say no Imperial is sweeter than any Milk Stout, but as a category, Milk Stouts are sweeter.

Exactly, I was having a hard time completing my thoughts this morning, lol. I needed more coffee.

If you want a sweet stout try Southern Tier's Creme Brulee stout.

Their Mokah is delicious, too.

Sorry for the delayed responses gents. I have been quite busy.

Left Hand's version is my personal favorite. I have seen it in MD before, but only at places with huge selections.

I will keep an eye out for it. I checked the brewer's web site and they do not currently ship to any distributors in Maryland.

Can you get Southern Tier in MD? Their 2X Stout is pretty good.

I have a love/hate relationship with Southern Tier. As others stated in the thread, it is extremely sweet to me. I have tried the milk stout, the pumking, the creme brulee stout, and several others. All had excellent flavor that I loved, but they were all too sweet for a beer for my taste.

Yes.

Lancaster's should be somewhat easy to find as well. Wilpar, what part of Maryland?

+1 - I like Lancasters. I am in Baltimore.
