Learn to Homebrew Day is coming up on the first Saturday of November. At this point, I'm planning on getting together with my brewing buddies Du and Doc, but I'm not sure if this will be a travel brew day or if I'll end up hosting.
Anyway ... I was recently thinking about what I'd brew, and came across a recipe in Beer Smith that I developed at some point.
Pack o' Hooligans Stout is actually a 16A Sweet Stout. At some point I must have gone to my Roll-a-Style list and "rolled" 14 on an online 20-sided die ...
16A Sweet Stout is a very dark, sweet, full-bodied, slightly roasty stout that can suggest coffee-and-cream, or sweetened espresso.
So, I may change my mind, but currently I'm planning on brewing this recipe on Learn to Homebrew Day.
As a bonus, I think the Beer Model's mom is likely to visit in December. She is actually a fan of darker beers ... especially if they are on the sweeter, roasty, coffee-like side of the style.
I'm thinking we'll have some left for her to enjoy when she is in town.
And, of course I'll enjoy having a nice dark beer on tap. It is just a bonus that I can check the style off my BJCP Goal.
Anyway ... now my Roll-a-Style list looks like this:
My "Bench" now includes:
Technically, 17A. British Strong Ale is still "on the list", but I have plans to brew that soon, so I won't be "Rolling" that one.
