Flavor Profile & Beer Style
A bold, creamy coffee stout with layered roast character and smooth sweetness.
This Café Con Leche Beer Recipe Kit produces a dark, malt-forward stout built on Briess Dark Dry Malt Extract and specialty steeping grains including black malt, roasted barley, pale chocolate malt, golden naked oats, and dark crystal. Whole espresso beans contribute authentic coffee aroma and depth, while lactose (non-fermentable milk sugar) enhances body and adds smooth creaminess.
