Alice Porter?

[bigdave]

Anyone got an alice porter clone recipe? Going to the LHBS later for some other bits so thought I could get this sorted while I'm there.

Porter is not my bag but I did find this recipie on the net..I have tried Alice porter, and found that it was thin compared to other similar beers.And in typical brew dog style, lots of dry hops and finishing hops.

Cheers,

Will pop it into beer engine and see where I end up.

How did this turn out?

[bigdave]

It ended up as Malice Porter which was possibly a touch on the hoppy side for a porter but none the less was a pretty good ale! Seymour and sunny_jimbob reviewed it in on page 32 of the members beer reviews (I'm on my phone so creating a link is difficult).

The recipe I brewed will be on here somewhere too. Will look for it in the morning.

How did this turn out?

I thought it was delicious. WAY hoppier than a classic London porter, more like an American "Black IPA" but I get the feeling you guys would consider that a very good thing. I didn't even know it was based on a BrewDog concept, that makes perfect sense now.

I don't think it contained Sorachi Ace as the aforementioned recipe stated, though, did it? Man, oh man, I love Sorachi Ace hops. That's one worth hunting-down, bigdave.

His recipe: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=57048&p=600034&hil ... er#p598997
My review: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8509&p=608808&hilit=malice#p608808

darkonnis, if he can be persuaded to share, bigdave's Rakau is something really special, in my opinion.

I think I'll have to get in on this beer swapping malarky, I make a dangerous Belgian White if I may say so myself! Don't suppose you have a computer copy of that review sheet do you seymour, looks very very handy!
debating getting some sorachi ace, my usual supplier doesnt stock it so it'd be a dear do.. hmmm....

Don't suppose you have a computer copy of that review sheet do you seymour, looks very very handy!

He posted a link to it...

[darkonnis]

Didnt see it in that link josh?

Either way this is what i was looking for http://www.bjcp.org/docs/SCP_BeerScoreSheet.pdf

[seymour]

Yeah, he's right. In my response on that thread, the word Beer Scoresheet is a hyperlink to the same thing. I'm glad you found it for yourself, though. So, if you were digging around the BCJP site, that means you probably also saw the handy:

How To Judge Beer
Beer Checklist
Checklist Instructions
Beer Faults Troubleshooter

et cetera

Cheers!

[darkonnis]

haha not at all, google is my friend I just typed in what I wanted and it came up top of the list.
Might have to give it a go some time. Got a pale ale on at the minute which seems to be sorely lacking so it might be a good place to start.
Cheers
