Notes
Based on the Kandi stout recipe. Different hops and extract used and bourbon and oak added. Specialty Grains were steeped for 30 mins / 150 degrees. After one week in primary, FG was 1.020. Added 4 ounces of oak chips which had been soaking in 12 ounces of Maker's Mark for a week. Bourbon and Chips left in primary for 4-5 days. Racked to secondary, add 3/4 cup priming sugar and bottle. Nice smell of bourbon comes through. Taste of bourbon initially and then lets the pleasant stout taste come through and finish.

To quote on of my good friends that is a big fan of all things bourbon...."I would punch most of the members of my family in the face to get another bottle of that." I provided an extra bottle to him just to forego the assault.
yours is good but mine is better
