Chaos Cream Stout
Sweet Stout • Extract • 5 gal
This is a clone of the Sam Adams Cream Stout, that I altered to bump up the gravity. Chaos insued during brewing as my wort chiller sprang a leak, hence the name.

Stuck fermentation? Will sit in its keg for a long time

I was disappointed with this one. I don't know if I had a stuck fermentation, but after 2 months the SG was stuck around 1.030. Definitely has the silky mouthfeel of a cream stout, but the taste is average at best. I will probably dump the batch to make room for a better beer in my soda keg.
