Notes: Original recipe: 77.5% 2 row, 5% honey malt, 5% wheat, 5% carapils, 5% aromatic munich, and 2.5% C10.

Brian specified they use BSI A99 which is equivalent to Wyeast 1099 or the Whitbread 99 strain. With no LHBS, I substituted US-05 as I think it's a better substitute than US-04, which is the Whitbread 98 strain.

Notes: Overall Impression:
A very dark, moderately strong, dry, stout with prominent roast flavors.

Aroma:
Moderate to high roasted grain aromas, often with coffee, chocolate and/or lightly burnt notes. Low to medium fruitiness. May have a sweet aroma, or molasses, licorice, dried fruit, and/or vinous aromatics. Stronger versions can have a subtle, clean aroma of alcohol. Hop aroma moderately low to none, can be earthy, herbal or floral. Diacetyl low to none.

Appearance:
Very deep brown to black in color. Clarity usually obscured by deep color (if not opaque, should be clear). Large tan to brown head with good retention.

Flavor:
Moderate to high roasted grain and malt flavor with a coffee, chocolate, or lightly burnt grain character, although without a sharp bite. Moderately dry. Low to medium esters. Medium to high bitterness. Moderate to no hop flavor, can be earthy, herbal, or floral. Diacetyl medium-low to none.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-full to full body, often with a smooth, sometimes creamy character. May give a warming (but never hot) impression from alcohol presence. Moderate to moderately-high carbonation.

Comments:
Known also as Foreign Stout, Export Stout, Foreign Export Stout. Historic versions (before WWI, at least) had the same OG as domestic Extra Stouts, but had a higher ABV because it had a long secondary with Brettanomyces chewing away at it. The difference between domestic and foreign versions were the hopping and length of maturation.

History:
Stronger stouts brewed for the export market today, but with a history stretching back to the 18th and 19th centuries when they were more heavily-hopped versions of stronger export stouts. Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (originally, West India Porter, later Foreign Extra Double Stout) was first brewed in 1801 per Guinness with “extra hops to give it a distinctive taste and a longer shelf life in hot weather, this is brewed [today] in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. It [currently] makes up 40% of all the Guinness brewed around the world.”

Characteristic Ingredients:
Pale and dark roasted malts and grains, historically also could have used brown and amber malts. Hops mostly for bitterness, typically English varieties. May use adjuncts and sugar to boost gravity.

Style Comparison:
Similar in balance to an Irish Extra Stout, but with more alcohol. Not as big or intense as a Russian Imperial Stout. Lacking the strong bitterness and high late hops of American Stouts. Similar gravity as Tropical Stout, but with a drier finish, higher bitterness, and less esters.

Vital Statistics:
OG: 1.056 – 1.075
FG: 1.010 – 1.018
IBUs: 50 – 70
SRM: 30 – 40
ABV: 6.3 – 8.0%

Commercial Examples:
Coopers Best Extra Stout, Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, The Kernel Export Stout, Ridgeway Foreign Export Stout, Southwark Old Stout

Notes: ACTUAL RESULTS:
SG: 1.057
OG: 1.078
FG: 1.014

11/29/15: Mashed way lower than I would have hopped (target 155) and I didn't correct it (i know better now that I should have added boiling water.) After 60 minutes mash was at 145-148. Collected 7.1 gallons at 1.057 which is beyond bad.

Added the coffee grounds too early along with the chocolate at 15 minutes. Used a heaping spoonful of cocoa powder and 2.8oz of 85% chocolate. Added some molasses as well but probably not much to make a difference.

12/12/15: Racked to secondary on day 13 with .3oz of wood that had been soaking in a cup of bulliet bourbon.

12/22/15: Racked to keg on day 23.

---

12/31/15: Tasted 1 month in with mild carbonation. Obviously a little thinner than I was going for but still delicious (4/5 stars). The coffee shines through and the bourbon is noticeable. I sort of wish the hops were bigger - maybe chinook would have been a better choice or perhaps more nugget. Goes to show that you can screw up and still make delicious beer. RDWHAHB!
