Skanky Dog XXX Stout
Dry Stout • All Grain • 5 gal
This is a ridiculous brew that came about in a dream I had. Just kidding. Seriously, this brew will be stronger than a stout, drier than stout, more bitter than a stout and will only be palatable to a small percentage of extreme beer enthusiasts. Ps. I also dry hopped 1oz on Fuggle into the primary.

I placed this batch in primary on the 20th with 1 oz of Fuggle pellets. Only got an OG of 1.060, which is low because I usually get a brew house efficiency of 80-83%. I think the PH was low due to the huge amount of roasted barley. Anyway, fermented in primary for 6 days and then I racked to secondary. Tasted the brew when racking and, to say the least, it was a strong beer. It tasted like a rich, burnt beer log that was rolled in hops then charbroiled, if that makes any sense. I loved it!! It will probably stay in secondary for a few weeks. I'll keep you posted.
