Two Beer Dudes: Two regular dudes who happen to be huge fans of American craft beer.
English Ales: Milk/Sweet/Cream Sout
Color: Black
Clarity: Opaque
Malt Profile: Medium to medium-high. Malt sweetness, chocolate and caramel should contribute to the aroma and should dominate the flavor profile. Roast flavor may be present. Low to medium-low roasted malt-derived bitterness should be present.
Hop Profile: Should not be present
Bitterness: Low to medium-low and serves to balance and suppress some of the sweetness without contributing apparent flavor and aroma
Fermentation: Fruity esters, if present, are low. Diacetyl should not be present.
Body: Full-bodied. Body can be increased with the addition of milk sugar (lactose).
"Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer." - Dave Barry
