Early in the year, I brewed Merida Scottish Ale, using harvested Irish Ale Yeast, and I wanted to continue that yeast with an Irish Ale.
I have 15C. Irish Extra Stout on the Roll-a-Style List and with St. Patrick's Day coming up, I thought that would be a great beer to have on tap for this holiday.
So, I pretended to roll a 12
Which, of course corresponded to the 15C. Irish Extra Stout.
"A fuller-bodied black beer with a pronounced roasted flavor, often similar to coffee and dark chocolate with some malty complexity. The balance can range from moderately bittersweet to bitter, with the more balanced versions having up to moderate malty richness and the bitter versions being quite dry."
For this recipe, I looked at Brewing Classic Styles, I asked ChatGPT, and I looked at the American Homebrew Association's recipes (Paul's Irish Extra Stout).
I pretty much ignored all these and came up with my own recipe. And this is it.
The name "Oisin Owl" came from the AI Generated post Pack o' Hooligans Stout.
Apparently, "OisÃn" is an mythological Irish creature. I'm not sure how AI came up with the owl, but I decided it would make a good beer name for an Irish beer.
Now that I've "rolled" this style, my Roll-a-Style list looks like this:
My "Bench" now includes:
- 32A. Classic Style Smoked Beer
- Specialty IPA: Belgian IPA
- Specialty IPA: White IPA
- Specialty IPA: Brut IPA
