The sweetness in most Sweet Stouts comes from a lower bitterness level than dry stouts and a high percentage of unfermentable dextrins. Lactose, an unfermentable sugar, is frequently added to provide additional residual sweetness. Base of pale malt, and may use roasted barley, black malt, chocolate malt, crystal malt, and adjuncts such as maize or treacle. High carbonate water is common.

Session Notes
Yeast Strain(s) Used: WLP004 Irish Ale
Fermentaion Temp: 68°F
1) The 2 lbs of Flaked Barley helps with the creamy head. ...2) The Listed Brown Sugar Dark is actually cocoa that is added in the last 15 min (cocoa was not listed as an option in the drop-down)...3)Sour 2 bottles or cans of Guinness by leaving the contents out in a bowl for 4-7 days before brew day (this mimics how Guinness actually sours part of its wort before fermentation). Add the soured Guinness at flame out.... 4)Add 4lbs of Raspberries that have been pasteurized (or canned Raspberry puree) in the secondary.
