For anyone interested, here's the final version of my Tropical Stout. I'll brew it as soon as I bottle the Lager I have in the tank. I can't say how much I appreciated the input--quite a journey from the start. It is a bit more "Tropical" than I started, and I have to agree with Megary that it may drink more like a Porter since I'm leaving out RB and FB. But the addition of those, I believe, would detract from the finish I'm going for. We'll see where it goes. This is just one of what I label as
Prima Vita (First Life) brews. Again, thanks.
