Notes

Another test brew. This one is actually in secondary fermentation right now. Seems to be an interesting brew. Obvioulsly its not carbonated right now, but the fermentation does lend to the mouth feel and help with the presentation of the aromas. I'm only wondering where the hops are going to fall in terms of their previlance in final brew. Actually very nice tasting at the moment. This will be entered into competition in March.

APP: Black chestnut colour with an oatmeal head. Fine bubbles with a few fish eyes. NOSE: Black roast, coffee, good complexities, oatmeal undertones with malt interplays, some esthers, clean FLAVOUR: Flavour follows the nose with black roast, coffee, rich malt/oatmeal tones. Very Good complexity. Clean entry with a dry finish(malt) good bitterness from hops. MOUTH FEEL: Clean, smooth, rich, velvety, dry finish. OVERALL IMPRESSION: 39/50 Excellent Great balance between nose and palet. Clean, rich, down right nice. Could have left it to carbonate a little longer for better head retention. Still an excellent stout. I'm very happy with it.

I used this as the basis for my Oatmeal stout recipe. The previous tasting notes are pretty accurate, as best I can tell. I substituted the Crystal Malt and English Black Roast with American Chocolate Malt and Roasted Barley. I truly love this beer and recommend it to others. I cant wait to brew, and drink, it again!
