Midwest Moo Juice Milk Stout Beer Kit

Description

Your Midwest Moo Juice Milk Stout gives you a deep dark color and full-bodied flavor from the dark dry malt extract base along with roasted barley and chocolate malt. Those malts contribute the chocolaty roast character while the caramel/crystal malt and carapils add smoothness and a touch of sweetness.

The Fuggles hops supply balanced bitterness and the East Kent Goldings hops add gentle floral and herbal aroma. Your SafAle S-04 yeast ferments cleanly so the malt and hop notes stay forward, and the lactose stirred in late in the boil leaves a creamy finish with slight residual sweetness.

Your Label Peelers Midwest Moo Juice Milk Stout Original Beer Kit never sits on a shelf. Your grains are crushed to order. Your ingredients are packed fresh and you don't pay for a flashy box. It's all about providing you with the freshest ingredients for you to make your best beer.
