      I like lactose in dessert stouts but it’s the idea of using it in an ipa that doesn’t appeal.

      This.

        I started on the dessert beer fad with stouts and porters. I've only had one dessert porter that I thought was really bad, but the others were decent. But, after trying dessert stouts from 6 or 7 breweries I started to get burnt out on them and switched to milkshake ipa's. I've tried a sour as well which I liked, so will revisit that in the future.

        For me it boils down to variety. Everybody makes ipa's, stouts and porters, so in order for breweries to stand out from the crowd they have to often do a little bit of creative marketing. This could be brand presentation or gimmicky flavors. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm a big fan of Drekker because I like their marketing and I like most of the beers that i've tried. The important thing is, Drekker, as a whole, makes great beer. I rarely drink more than 1 beer on any given night but I actually had 2 of the Coconut Killer ipa yesterday because it's so darned good  😃

              I had one in the cart yesterday but dumped it in favour of some BA’ed imperial brown ale. Speaking of which, brown ale with lactose is fekkin nice.

                I can imagine… I always find brown ale to be a bit lacking... Had a good bourbon BA brown the other day though... Excellent... Throw in some lactose and you have yourself a party I bet!..

                  I’m a twat. I took this Amundsen/Track collab DIPA for a ride last week. Liked it so much I picked up a couple more. Turns out it has lactose in it 😂 In fairness there is nothing sweet or “dessert” about it. It’s all bitter pine needles and grapefruit which is what I like best.

                    Lotta Grapefruit here too. Oat fills it out nicely too.

                      I love DIPA’s. Most of the dessert beers I’ve tried only had a slight amount of sweetness and were very hoppy. Sweet can be good but not too sweet.

                        Coffee and Vanilla beans. Horus stouts are hard to beat.  Really thick and syrupy.

                              Funny thing is none of the adjuncts really come through. It’s got a nice hop bite to it and a little sweetness but no mango and no s’mores. It’s still decent though

                                      Got a bad bottle I think. Had to pour it down the sink at rate. Not a problem as the monopoly have a generous policy whereby I take the empty bottle back, describe the problem, they make a note and give me a new one.
