i wouldn't mind making a stout for my dad who's a Genius drinker and as i don't touch the stuff myself can somebody help me? also do i carbonate the same?
If you're a kit brewer i'd suggest any stout kit plus some wyeast/white labs Irish ale yeast. For further authenticity you could cornie keg it with a stout tap & creamer disc, plus some mixed gas.
If you're an all-grain brewer try 90% pale malt, 5% roasted barley and 5% flaked barley to a strength of OG 1.042. Bittering hops to 35-40IBU (anything really Northdown, Challenger etc).
To get the smooth thing you need a chiller, mixed gas (nitrogen/CO2) and a tap with a restrictor disc.
