WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

A stout that will definitely keep you warm in the winter. This beer hit 10% ABV. I pitched 2 pouches of Wyeast 1056 the second after initial fermentation slowed. The wort puckered your mouth with acidity like I had never tasted in a beer. I worried that it wouldn’t mellow, but it did. Final taste notes are chocolate and coffee with a warming alcohol presents. Hops balance out nicely with the high alcohol and large grain bill and seem to complement the malts perfectly. Cheers to long rainy NW winters.
