Lactose adds body and gentle sweetness, creating a soft, creamy mouthfeel. Fuggle hops provide balanced bitterness, while East Kent Goldings contribute subtle earthy and floral notes, resulting in a coffee stout that's rich, smooth, and deeply satisfying.

Brewing your Café Con Leche Coffee Stout follows a classic stout brewing process:

  • Boil: Add hops for balanced bitterness and subtle flavor. Add lactose during the boil.
  • Ferment: Ferment with your selected yeast until clean and fully attenuated. Add espresso beans during secondary fermentation.
  • Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks.

This recipe highlights bold coffee and roasted malt character while maintaining the smooth, creamy body that makes this coffee stout so satisfying.
