Aeatherion's Mt. St. Java Stout
American Stout • Extract • 5 gal
Will be brewing this in a week or two. I'll update after transfer to secondary. Should be a solid recipe, but not 100% sure I have enough coffee in the equation. Only time will tell.

Discussion
Good, but not good enough.

Entered the beer in a local brewpub's homebrew competition and the results were horrendous. None of the judges liked the beer or thought it was to style. What really scares me about this, about their comments, is the fact of how close this is to being a Bell's Java Stout clone. Makes one wonder how that beer would have done. Rec'd. great feedback from a number of folks about this beer prior to the competition. Again, nothing negative, and a very drinkable / likable beer. Bell's Java Stout is smoother, with just a bit less coffee punch. I'll have to try to get closer to that recipe, but I'm happy with this one with it being my first attempt.
Well, now, doesn't that just beat all!

Ok, after this beer getting tanked in the local competition (~80 beers entered), I decided to enter it in another competition. The second competition had ~150 beers entered and lo, and behold, this recipe took a Gold Medal in it's category!!! Guess it's not such a bad beer after all. Anxiously awaiting the score sheets to see the comments! Still think the recipe needs a few tweaks, such as slightly less coffee and maybe a smoother, more mellow / sweeter base.

Ok, here's the results of competitions that I've entered this beer in this year: Gold Medal - Mt. Brewer Open Gold Medal - Oktobersbest Zinzinnati Bronze Medal - Dixie Cup Bronze Medal - Music City Brew-Off Overall, not too shabby for a first attempt with this recipe. I'll definitely be tweaking just a bit based upon judging comments and rebrewing!
