NOTES: Absolutely delcious. The new house stout around here. It is smooth, creamy, malty and a nice hit of chocolate. The Roasted is barely noticable through the intense cream. The aroma is powerful and malty. Perfect bitterness. This beer is great!

So that's the famous standard stout huh? I must admit that stouts are not my favorite style, but I have heard NOTHING but good things about this one. After my next pale ale, I'm going to do this one. Thanks for the recipe.

After a lot of thought, I have decided to make this my next beer. I've just heard too many good things about it and even though stouts are not my favorite beers, this seems like the one that will make me a believer.

Does it have a nice bold taste? I'm not really into "Guiness" type stouts that are all bark, no bite. Whenever I drink a Guiness, I'm always expecting a nice kick, but I'm only left with a mellow smoothness. I like stouts with a lot of flavor. Will this be a good choice for me or should I go up to your BADCOW stout?

I'm making this very soon, but I'm kicking the gravity up and the IBUs a bit.

O'Flannagain,
Have you ever tried a cold coffee extract addition to the Standard Stout or any other stout? I was reading about it last night and was wondering how it would be in a sweet stout.

[Ó Flannagáin]

This guy is good, but don't expect any bite. Very mellow, residual sweetness and very smooth. I don't recommend the BADCOW... that was like my 3rd or 4th brew and I didn't know what I was doing. That recipe is probably garbage.

I'm hoping to make this later today! Thanks for sharing this tasty looking recipe with us.

[Ó Flannagáin]
