Milk Stout Recipe
If you are a conventional beer drinker, the Milk Stout will likely be your favorite. I have brewed milk stouts many times at home and even treated my non-brewing friends to them. I was introduced to milk stouts by my grandfather, who used to brew them at home. When I grew up, he shared the recipe with me, and I learned to brew stouts in different ways.
In this article, I will discuss the milk stout recipe and various ways to prepare it.
Milk stouts, also known as cream stouts, are rich, chocolatey, and roasted, with hints of coffee and caramel. Milk stouts differ only subtly from traditional dry stouts. Milk sugar balances the roasted bitterness in stouts, resulting in a smoother version.
Expert Tips That I Recommend
- Add fresh raspberries for a naturally fruity, vibrant flavor.
- Crush the raspberries so they release their juices. Don’t muddle, as it can make the drink overly pulpy and bitter.
- Be careful while adding the syrup, as the drink also has raspberries and Brutal Fruit.
- To enjoy a refreshing flavor, keep the milk stout and Brutal Fruit chilled.
- To prevent foam and overflow, add the milk stout slowly into the brandy snifter.
Recipe Variation for Different Diets
- Keto Version: Check the packaging label to confirm whether the vanilla syrup and Brutal Fruit are sugar-free.
- Gluten-Free Version: Double-check whether the vanilla syrup contains malt vinegar and whether the milk stout is made with gluten-free ingredients like rice or millet.

Yes, you can use frozen raspberries in the recipe. But make sure you thaw them slightly before muddling, so that they release the juices easily.

You need to muddle the berries because it releases juices and aroma without crushing too many seeds. It prevents the bitter flavor and excess seeds.
How can I prevent the drink from turning foamy?
To prevent the drink from becoming foamy, add the milk stout slowly into the brandy snifter and avoid vigorous stirring. Make sure the other ingredients are chilled before combining them.
