AG#3 Four Shades of Stout 18/11/08

[Garth]

Cannot quite see the correlation between winter and stout, but hey I drink stout all year round....LOL

stouts, porters, darker ales and barley wines are more associated with winter as they are seen as a heavier warming type of drink.....sipping them away in front of some roaring log fire, rather than chucking a 3.8% light guzzler down your neck while poking the barbie on a blazing hot day.....

but as you say, I also drink them anytime anyway

after just 24 fermenting, mine is smelling absolutely amazing.

You are going to have to let us all know how this turns out and give a porn pic of a pint once it's conditioned.

Reading the ingredients list is making me thirsty already....lol may I go down the pub for lunch tomorrow and quaff a Black Dog in the noon day sun to cheer myself up
