The beer pub "Susukino Ale STAND" in Sapporo’s Susukino district is featuring the "Chocolate Milk Stout" from @taisetsu_ji_beer as a recommended item. It’s a dessert-like pour that brings out roasted aroma and a gentle sweetness without using any chocolate.
Hop BroThis time, Susukino Ale STAND in Sapporo’s Susukino district is spotlighting Taisetsu Local Beer’s Chocolate Milk Stout. This looks like a beer worth paying attention to.
MugiWait, Chocolate Milk Stout has chocolate in it?! That’s basically dessert!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: it doesn’t use chocolate at all. It gets its roasty character from high-temperature roasted chocolate malt and adds gentle sweetness with lactose.
MugiHold on, what even is lactose? If it has milk in it, it must be sweet, right...?
Hop BroLactose is a sugar derived from milk, and yeast can’t fully consume it, so a mellow sweetness tends to remain. That’s why it doesn’t feel too sharp even though it’s a stout.
MugiWow, and with ABV 7.0%, it’s stronger than it looks. It’s got that sweet face, but the alcohol presence really shows!
Hop BroExactly. With IBU 31, the bitterness is moderate, and the dark brown color carries a roasty note like bitter chocolate. It’s not too heavy to drink, but its outline is definitely clear.
MugiThen wouldn’t it totally win as a beer float? Put ice cream on top and it would suddenly feel like a grown-up dessert!
Hop BroThe post also mentioned that way of enjoying it. It works well as an after-dinner drink, and I think it’s the kind of beer that sweet-tooth drinkers would really get into.
MugiAnd it’s at COCONO SUSUKINO B1F, and they serve beer from 10:00 a.m.? Seriously? A drink before a meeting in Susukino is way too powerful!
Hop BroIt’s nice that you can enjoy it in the shop, as takeaway, and even ask about holding items or ordering through their EC site. Today, it really makes me want to go drink a beer meant to be savored slowly.
MugiYeah, this is definitely one of those I want to drink it right now beers! Let’s go after both the roastiness and the gentle sweetness!
