Well I probably will, but not because of this

Yoopers stout, delicious

Well I’ll be damned. Somehow I missed the fact that you and I brewed the same beer. Or I forgot.
Either way, I agree…delicious.

I make a lot of Stouts and this one is definitely it’s own thing. Kind of a cross between a Stout and a Porter (as defined by me!). A bit too full-bodied and not dry enough or roasty enough to be a “Stout”, but yet still a bit too roasty and not quite earthy-chocolatey enough to fall as a true Porter. Unique. Still, I’m loving this. My opinion. YMMV.

@Yooper. Thoughts?

My helles, very good also

 

[Craigerrr]

I wont you have a good excuse, I've been there many times

Nice fire as well.

I’ll judge you, only because you didn’t tell us how it was.

This was an in betweener, enjoyd a nice IPA before that, and a lovely NITRO Stout after. Just reducing the intake. That is one of the best non alcoholic beers I have had, it is actually very good. I will be keeping some of that on hand for certain.

@Craigerrr I'm with you found myself having an extra pint too often. Took most of the week off and I’m making lower gravity stuff for the next few months

 

[Donoroto]

Summer is a good time for lower abv beers.

Foxy tripel...
The one I thought was maybe infected. It's not
Slightly darker than planned, but that's what happens when you use cara malt 40 instead of aroma malt
I like it. So it is good

That's one of the advantages of bottling. It's hard to convince yourself you only had one or two when the evidence is on the counter.
Like others, I'm trying to reduce calorie intake. And to kick that off I've chosen to give up alcohol for Lent. Been tough but, so far, good.

I considered that but then thought about the monks and their Dopplebocks haha. But cutting down I’m doing.

My stout

 

[Herm brews]

My first try of this style. It is roasty, for sure. Maybe a slight whiff of brine on the nose, but I can’t identify any oyster essence. We’ll see how it changes as it warms in ambient air.

Thoughts @Herm_brews ?
I need to find one @Sunfire96

I still maintain that if it smells or tastes like oyster then they did it wrong sounds like a good one there

There's a couple Boysterous Stouts left in the tank after St Paddy's day

 

[Craigerrr]

This is what my Bloody Finger was inspired by, at 8% it is one to take my time with! It would actually be nice drizzled over some French Vanilla ice cream!

Porters and stouts are a relatively new game for me, so I’m a little green here.
This is a good brew. Low abv (4.8%), with just a little bitterness, smooth but a little thin in mouthfeel, but definitely has some roast character.
Earlier this week, I had an oatmeal stout by East Brothers Beer Co., and I liked that beer more. What I liked more about that was the rounder, fuller mouthfeel.

Bourbon barrel aged russian imperial stout.
11% and delicious!
