Well, first of all lactose is not very sweet and it is added to stout
(sometimes refered to as sweet or milk stouts) probably as much for
adding body as for any sweetness. There are many sweet stouts made
without any milk sugar. I think from my experience with milk sugar in
some of the stouts I experimented with that you can make the stout
sweeter by using certain malts like caramel better than lactose. You
would need ALOT of lactose to make a dent in the taste. I take it you
have never tasted lactose. Get a little bit and taste some of the
powder, it's about as sweet as cream.
