About This Drink

Galactic Milk Stout was the first beer Big Drop ever made, back in 2016, and it remains the one they're best known for. The combination of dark chocolate malt, cacao nibs, roasted barley and lactose does exactly what you'd hope: it produces a beer that pours deep brown, near-black, with a tan head and a genuinely rich body. On the nose you get roasted coffee and chocolate, the kind of aroma that makes a stout smell like a stout. On the palate, the lactose adds creaminess and rounds off the roasted edges, with the dark chocolate and coffee notes coming through clearly. There's a smooth finish with just enough sweetness to keep it from tasting austere. No sharp bitterness, no watery finish. Gluten-free. Probably the easiest introduction to alcohol-free stouts available in the UK.
