Guinness does not! I never put it in any of my stouts (except a milk stout) for the decade of brewing prior to becoming lactose intolerant, and never have put it in any after. <br /><br />Flaked barley (or even oatmeal) gives your stout good body and head. Low carbonation and a nitro tap is what REALLY gives stuff like guinness the mouthfeel and head that you are thinking of.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13939100.post-45213708821573045932010-02-28T23:49:20.763-05:002010-02-28T23:49:20.763-05:00a stout without lactose is not a stout!

Oddly enough while dealing with the problem I read that the new Pumpkin Ales where out and how they were made. They have lactose as an ingredient! I now fear beer! I wish I had know lactose was in beer, and it is just as bad as eating cheese!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
