SO, I have brewed this beer a couple of times. I never really saw it as a stout so much as a slightly roasty black ale. NO MATTER, it is a damn good beer!!!
But as of today i think it is my favorite home brew by far.
Many of you know my family recently lost everything in a fire. House, business, brew gear, everything. The rebuild of life is slow. But life does go on.
ENTER MY NEPHEW
Somewhere on this site is a post or two about helping my nephew get started brewing a couple years back. He had a Christmas kit, and i helped him and his wife take the first leap. What got him interested in the first place was THIS BEER. I had made a batch, and he liked this brew so much that he took the leap and joined the club.
WELL, i am without home brew since the fire - and getting my brew gear back up AIN'T exactly first priority. But it don't stop me from Jone'sing a little! So, out of the blue up pops the nephew tonight, with 2-1/2 cases of THIS BEER. Seems he brewed it right after the fire. Fermented it, Kegged it. Gave it a couple weeks of conditioning, and put it up in bottles so i could enjoy it from the fridge in our temporary digs.
This beer is always tasty. but this is the BEST DAMN BEER I HAVE EVER TASTED.
Thanks kid! Thanks to the long missing Mr O. This really is a damn good beer night for me!
