Was speaking to an old farmer bot t'otehr day and mentioned ber and he got all glassy eyed over his faourite all time tipple "Glucose stout" which of course was a popular beverage in nineteen forty frozentodeath . The idea of such a beast intrigues me and I cant find too many references to this ont'interweb.
Im thinking something along the lines of Genius or Tard but with a proportion of the recipe being brewers Sugar which after all is glucose.
Any ideas about proportions etc Would be worth a first try
I think this wold be a thin but slightly sweet stout.

Point me in the right direction o guru's of the ale
 
As glucose is totally fermentable unlike say lactose, I don't think it would finish sweet.
How about,

23 litres OG 1.048 estimated abv 4.8 % @ 75% efficiency
3.5 kg pale malt
750g flaked barley
500g black malt
250g chocolate malt
90 minute mash at 66C

75g fuggles 4% aa 90 minute boil (or your favourite hops to give 32/33 IBU's)
500g glucose dissolved in 1 litre of wort added half way through the boil

I like to use a combination of black and chocolate malt in this type of stout as I think it gives a "smoother" flavour compared to roast barley.
The relatively low hop rate should also give an impression of more sweetness.
I also guestimate that this should finish with a gravity of 1.012 is so it shouldn't be thin ;)
